Real Madrid star's injury recovery ‘progressing much faster than expected'
Real Madrid star Eduardo Camavinga is recovering from injury at a considerably faster pace than was originally anticipated. That's according to Marca, who have on Saturday provided an insight into the situation. Advertisement Midfielder Camavinga has for his part been sidelined since back in April, owing to a muscular injury. En route to a 1-0 La Liga downing of Getafe, the Frenchman pulled up with a groin concern, which was later confirmed to have brought a premature end to his 2024/25 campaign. The initial assumption was that Camavinga would likely also be ruled out of the upcoming Club World Cup in the USA. If the latest word stemming from the media this weekend is anything to go by, though, then the 22-year-old could yet return to boost the options of new boss Xabi Alonso much sooner than expected. As per Marca: 'The player appears to be progressing much faster than expected. Given what's been seen 11 days before Madrid's campaign for the latest title, Camavinga could be available in time to make a last-minute comeback (at the Club World Cup).' Conor Laird – GSFN

The referee appointed for the upcoming Copa del Rey final between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea, became emotional on Friday while discussing the intense pressure he faces ahead of the match. He was questioned about a video released by Real Madrid's Club TV network, RMTV, highlighting his supposed mistakes in previous matches against them. RMTV frequently employs this tactic to influence referees before key games. When asked about this latest video, de Burgos Bengoetxea could not hold back tears as he spoke about the impact on him and his family, reports Xinhua. Referee Final De Burgos Bengoetxea breaks down in tears at the press conference: 'When your son goes to school and there are children who tell him that his father is a thief and he comes home crying, that's really tough." — Real Madrid Info ³⁶ (@RMadridInfo) April 25, 2025 'When your son comes back from school and other kids have said to him that his father is a thief, it's really hard," he said. 'They have no right to make us go through this, but it's not just something between professionals; a lot of families depend on this, and everyone should take some time to reflect on what they are doing." Pablo Gonzalez Fuentes, who will serve as the VAR official for Saturday's match, also criticised RMTV's actions. 'They have to understand the consequences of these videos," he said, explaining that they lead to online campaigns against officials. 'We're seeing community managers on official social media platforms attacking the community for just one more like. We see actions by football players that suggest we're dishonest.

We must address these types of situations and return to a healthier and cleaner style of football," he commented.

However, tests carried out on Thursday morning showed Camavinga's injury to be much worse than previously thought. First Published:

4-1-2-1-2 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup Against FC Barcelona
Real Madrid will face Barcelona in the final of the Copa Del Rey at the Estadio de La Cartuja. The club from the Spanish capital have not been in their best form this season. They have struggled in La Liga and are four points behind Barcelona. They have been knocked out of the UEFA Champions League, and hence they will be looking at the Copa Del Rey as the chance of winning a major trophy. Real Madrid beat Real Sociedad in the semi-final of the Copa Del Rey to qualify for the final. During the last 89 meetings, FC Barcelona have won 41 times, there have been 21 draws, while Real Madrid have won 27 times. The goal difference is 162-125 in favor of FC Barcelona. Eder Militao, Dani Carvajal, and Ferland Mendy are set to miss out on this game with injuries. Let us take a look at the predicted lineup of Real Madrid for this game. 4-1-2-1-2 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup Against FC Barcelona: Defense: Courtois, a wall in goal, should be a safe bet to make crucial saves. Fede Valverde at right-back is a bold move, as his energy and versatility could stifle Barcelona's wingers. However, it will be a gamble defensively, but they have no other choice. Rudiger's grit and experience will anchor the centre, and he will be paired with young Raul Asencio. The young defender has been stepping up amid injuries. Fran Garcia at left-back will bring pace and attacking flair, but he will need to stay sharp against Barcelona's tricky forwards. This backline mixes youth, aggression, and nous, but they will need to gel quickly to handle Barcelona's relentless press. Midfield: The probable midfield trio of Tchouameni, Modric, and Camavinga should be a mixture of steel and silk. Tchouameni will sit deep, and he will break up play while shielding the defence. His discipline will be key against Barcelona's quick transitions. Modric, the maestro, still possesses magic with his vision and passing and will be expected to dictate tempo at 39. Camavinga's dynamism will add box-to-box energy. He will be pressing high and driving forward. This setup feels balanced, with Modric's creativity unlocking spaces and Camavinga's legs covering gaps. They will need to control possession and avoid being overrun by Barcelona's midfield intensity. However, this trio has the quality to dominate on their day. Attack: Real Madrid's attack should be a mouthwatering prospect with Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, and Mbappé. Bellingham will play just behind the strikers and will bring goals, grit, and flair. Vinicius Junior, on the left, will be a nightmare for defenders. His pace and trickery could tear Barcelona apart. Mbappe, up top, is a lethal finisher, and he will be hungry to prove himself in this clash. This trio's speed and skill can exploit any defensive lapse, but they will need to be clinical against Barcelona's high line. If they click, this attack could be unstoppable and might deliver a masterclass.
