Camavinga has made an excellent start at Real Madrid. He has not yet played half a game (34 minutes in total, 24 'against Celta and 10' against Inter) and has a goal and an assist. All this with little time to adapt (he arrived on the last market day) and with only 18 years. Big words.

The trio formed by Casemiro, Kroos and Modric is still the present, they still have gasoline and they will continue to be very important as long as they maintain their level.
