David Alaba and Camavinga for Real Madrid

David Alaba and Eduardo Camavinga are clear examples of the good atmosphere that exists at Real Madrid. The two players maintain an exceptional relationship and seek each other out to joke around. In an incident on Sunday after Los Blancos won the Copa del Rey, Alaba slapped Camavinga from the back in a friendly manner during the celebrations.

Camavinga also said, “He’s just a great guy, as great as they say. He’s someone who talks to you and helps you a lot, we have a very good relationship. If I do something wrong, he will firmly let me know about it.” Camavinga too is often seen praising David Alaba which is evident from his recent remarks claiming, “Honestly, they all made me feel comfortable, without exception. I think I’m quite friendly and open. When I have a question, I’ll ask it.”

Alaba has been great and has proved all his doubters wrong. Not many people thought he’d be able to perform so well in center-back at Los Blancos, but he has, and the Austrian has exceeded all expectations, truly. Since his arrival at the club last summer, the club has won all trophies that a Spanish club could win.

As far as Real Madrid is concerned, it is no nonsense to ensure that the white club was right in the transfer market with the additions of David Alaba and Eduardo Camavinga. Two signings and two hits. From the success with a veteran like Alaba, to a practically newcomer like Camavinga. Ancelotti already defines him as the 'modern midfielder' or 'the complete midfielder.'

Ancelotti was right as Real Madrid defeated Osasuna 2-1 and won their 20th Copa Del Rey title as the French man and the Austrian already have won every possible title with Los Blancos since their arrival in the Spanish capital in 2021. Hope the relationship between Camavinga and Alaba stays the same and we witness more such exciting moments in the future.

Dani Ceballos is believed to have suffered the muscle problem on the eve of the final of the Copa del Rey. And it prevented his participation in the big match. While the injury is not a significant one, it has come at the wrong time for Ceballos for sure.

Ceballos is all set to miss the first leg against Manchester City and will be hoping to recover for the second leg. Ceballos has established himself as an important player for Real Madrid this season, especially in the absence of the greats like Luka Modric and Toni Kroos due to fitness issues.

Ceballos’ absence will hurt Real Madrid’s depth in the midfield. The Spanish midfielder should be back for the return leg at the Etihad Stadium, although his role in that game will likely be a minor one given the circumstances. Ceballos is yet to sign a contract extension with Real Madrid and is set to become a free agent this summer.
