Eduardo Camavinga has had a challenging season, as he is now out with an injury to his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
A substantial portion of the season will be missed by the midfielder due to an injury, which will impede his development despite the fact that he has signed an extension to his current deal.
Although Camavinga is now recuperating from the injury to his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), he recently participated in a question and answer session (h/t JD Football). During this session, he was asked a variety of questions, including which Real Madrid player he admires the most and who he considers to be the most difficult opponent.
Camavinga’s most intense adversary
When asked about the most difficult opponent he has ever faced in his career, Camavinga did not hesitate to answer the question.
Bernardo Silva, a superstar for Manchester City, was recognized by the former Rennes sensation. For the UEFA Champions League, Camavinga competed against Bernardo the previous year.

During that time period, the Portuguese international was doing very well, putting up a string of high-quality performances. Earlier in the year, Silva scored twice in the Champions League semifinal match between Manchester City and Real Madrid, which Man City won 4-0. The match was the first leg of the semifinal.
The finest player in Camavinga’s history and his favorite legend
It was further inquired of Camavinga who he considered to be the finest player he had ever played alongside at Real Madrid. Karim Benzema was the only solution that the Frenchman could think of.
Following his departure from Real Madrid in the summer, the star striker had been a member of Camavinga’s roster for a number of years. It’s interesting to note that they were also the finest years of his life while playing for Real Madrid, with the striker standing out as the recipient of the Ballon d’Or award.
In conclusion, Camavinga was questioned about a Real Madrid icon with whom he would have cherished the opportunity to play.
In addition to Zinedine Zidane, the midfielder mentioned another fellow countryman.According to him, “I believe that every French player will say Zidane, so according to me, it is Zidane.”
In the event that Camavinga had joined Real Madrid a little bit sooner, he would have been able to play under Zidane’s direction. Zidane, on the other hand, is one of the contenders to replace Carlo Ancelotti, so it would seem that the window of opportunity has not necessarily closed completely just yet.
