From a leading role in Champions League success this season to coming off the bench at the European Championship, France midfielder Eduardo Camavinga admitted it was not easy being confined to a substitute’s role at the tournament in Germany.

The 21-year-old midfielder was a regular for Real Madrid as they swept to the Champions League and La Liga titles but at Euro 2024 he has played only 48 minutes, making cameo appearances against Austria and Poland in their group games.

“This is not a positive outcome for me. The fact that I don’t play much doesn’t necessarily make me happy,” Camavinga told a Saturday press conference.

“But I know that one day or another, my time will come. You have to be ready, like at the World Cup when the coach asked me to come on in the final.

“You have to be ready during training, already. Me, before matches, I do the same thing, I listen to music, I do my warm-ups. If my head is right, my legs will follow. A competition is not played with 11 players. The most important thing is to be focused until the end.”
