[Gossip Board] Camavinga: My Teammates Told Me That The Red Result Against Bayern Was Not My Fault, It Was The Referee’s Misjudgment

Hupu News on May 4th, in an interview with Canal+Foot, Real Madrid midfielder Camavinga talked about his experience for the first time when he was sent off against Bayern in the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals. He stated that the red card was "a bad memory" for him. In the locker room, his teammates gave him support and encouragement after the game, including Mbappe. They all told him that this was not his fault, but a referee's misjudgment.

Camavinga said, "That red card? It was a terrible memory. I think it was an unexpected situation that I didn't expect at all, and that incident had an impact on me. But it is also part of a player's career."

This season, Camavinga's performance at Real Madrid is not in a stable state, and it is very likely that he will not be able to enter the French team's subsequent World Cup squad.

Talking about the impact of external criticism on himself after the scene at the Allianz Arena, Camavinga said: "I won't lie to you. After it happened, I immediately cut off contact with the outside world. I don't think it is necessary to read what is said outside. I think people will live better without social media. Football is extremely cruel. You can play ten excellent football games, but as long as one performance is poor and one mistake is made, people will forget everything before."

Speaking of the reaction in the locker room, Camavinga spoke out. After the game, his teammates immediately came to his side to support me. "They came straight to the locker room to support me. They told me that it was not my fault, it was just a misjudgment by the referee. I accepted it as a mistake. Even the next day, the club sent me a message telling me that it was not my responsibility."

Afterwards, Dacote, a former France international, asked whether Camavinga had communicated with Mbappe about the recent criticism. Camavinga responded, saying: "Actually, we didn't specifically talk about this. But Mbappe was affected to a certain extent because he gave me a big hug after seeing me in the morning. We usually hug each other. On that Monday morning, he saw me and told me that we were still persevering. I can understand that Mbappe has empathy for criticism and has relevant experience (laughing)."
