Overview
- Real Madrid fans loudly booed Eduardo Camavinga when he came on in the second half against Alavés at the Santiago Bernabéu, and the jeers continued with each touch.
- The backlash traces to his yellow‑red for a foul on Harry Kane late in the Champions League quarter-final second leg against Bayern, after which Madrid conceded twice and went out.
- Head coach Álvaro Arbeloa defended the midfielder after the match, saying he helped the team and praising his personality and readiness to play.
- Madrid beat Alavés 2-1 through goals from Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior, with a stoppage-time strike by Toni Martínez for Alavés keeping the finish tense.
- The club remains six points behind Barcelona with six league games left, and Camavinga’s earlier Instagram apology to teammates and fans has not softened the in-stadium or online hostility.
