Speaking to Canal Plus, Eduardo Camavinga (20) said that he believes Real Madrid’s 1-1 draw against Manchester City “isn’t necessarily a bad result.”
Camavinga became the youngest semi-final assist provider in Champions League history (20 years and 180 days old) when he set up Vinícius Junior’s opener in the first half. The goal came during a dominant period for Manchester City, and paradoxically, the Premier League side levelled the scores when Real Madrid were in the ascendency.
Kevin De Bruyne’s long-range strike cancelled out Viníciuis Junior’s opener, scored in similar circumstances to earn Manchester City a draw ahead the return leg at the Etihad Stadium next Wednesday.
Camavinga, who was once again deployed in his unfavoured left-back role, reacted to the result on Canal Plus. “I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad result. We gave everything today. It’s a very good result against this Manchester City team, and we’re committed to winning at their place,” he began, in an interview transcribed by Foot Mercato.
“You pay dearly for the mistakes. 1-1 isn’t such a bad result. It’s 50-50. We start from scratch in the next match,” concluded the France international.

Eduardo Camavinga dribbled the entire length of the pitch in the buildup leading to Vinicius' goal. What a run, what a player ✨

The ball appeared to go out of play in the buildup before Kevin De Bruyne's equalizer against Real Madrid. VAR did not review the goal.

So Real Madrid have never beaten Man City at the Etihad before. And we've not lost a UCL match at the Etihad since 2018. #FootballHeritage!

You are looking at the undisputed best midfielder in the world. If he played for prime Barcelona or Real Madrid, he would have already won a Ballon d'Or and Champions League by now. 📷: bolanews.co @NMT

Camavinga vs Gavi debates is such a waste of time honestly. Camavinga is astronomically clear man what a career he’s having 🔥🔥🔥🔥

It's true, it's a very open chance for both teams. Real Madrid will even be more fresh going to Manchester City because they won't be playing for any other trophies other than UCL, whereas City have the EPL, FA and the UCL to contend with.
