Eduardo Camavinga dedicates special message to exit-bound Real Madrid captain
While all eyes at the Santiago Bernabeu were on the grand send-offs for Luka Modric and Carlo Ancelotti, another Real Madrid stalwart quietly played his final match at the stadium, namely, Lucas Vazquez. The long-serving Galician full-back, who marked his 400th appearance for the club, bid farewell in a more understated manner, but his influence has not gone unnoticed, especially by his teammates. Advertisement Among the heartfelt tributes pouring in, Eduardo Camavinga posted a message on social media that perfectly captured the bond between the players and Vazquez's legacy. 'From day one, you have been an example of hard work, excellence, and dedication,' wrote the French midfielder. 'Even if you were a bad person at one point, it's okay, I still love you. We will all miss you here. I wish you all the best in the next chapter. Thank you, Lukii.' Nothing but respect for Vazquez Though laced with humour, Camavinga's message underlined the deep respect Vazquez commands within the squad. Known for his commitment, selflessness, and leadership, Vazquez has been a glue figure in the Real Madrid dressing room, often operating out of position, always giving his all, and helping maintain unity in both successful and trying times. Advertisement Unlike Modric and Ancelotti, there was no official pre-match announcement confirming Vazquez's departure ahead of Real Madrid's final league game against Real Sociedad. But the fans knew. When he was substituted in the 77th minute, the Bernabeu stood up in appreciation. Every single teammate approached him for an embrace. Even Ancelotti, rarely expressive during matches, gave him a warm kiss. With the Club World Cup still to come, Vazquez will officially depart the club after the tournament. As the curtain falls on Vazquez's Madrid chapter, it is clear that he leaves not only as a five-time Champions League winner but as one of the squad's most respected and beloved figures.

The French international sustained the injury during Real Madrid's 1-0 win over Getafe in La Liga today. 'Following tests carried out today on our player Eduardo Camavinga by the Real Madrid medical services, he has been diagnosed with a complete rupture of the left adductor tendon,' said Madrid in a statement. Spanish media report Camavinga will miss the Copa del Rey final on Saturday against rivals Barcelona, as well as Real's final five league games as they try to overhaul the Catalan leaders. Camavinga may also miss the Club World Cup this summer in the US, with some reports suggesting he will be sidelined for three months. The 22-year-old has struggled for form this season at Real after playing an important role in their conquest of a La Liga and Champions League double last year.

Arsenal stun Real Madrid as Rice delivers free-kick masterclass
Arsenal stormed to a stunning 3-0 win over Champions League holders Real Madrid as Declan Rice's free-kick masterclass left the Gunners within touching distance of a place in the semi-finals. Rice scored two majestic free-kicks in the second half of the quarter-final first leg at the Emirates Stadium. Mikel Merino added Arsenal's third goal before Real's Eduardo Camavinga was sent off for kicking the ball away in the closing minutes to leave the Spanish giants in disarray. The brilliance of Rice's brace cannot be understated, with even Real keeper Thibaut Courtois - usually so inspired on Champions League nights - unable to get anywhere near the England midfielder's thunderbolts. Incredibly, Rice had never scored a free-kick in his career before the first of his missiles hit the back of the Real net. It was no more than Arsenal deserved for a mature performance that exposed injury-hit Real in ruthless style. Mikel Arteta's men will travel to the Bernabeu for the second leg on April 16 as firm favourites to advance to a semi-final tie against Paris Saint-Germain or Aston Villa, who meet in their quarter-final first leg on Wednesday. The Gunners have not reached the Champions League semi-finals since 2009, but that target is now within their grasp after an evening that will go down as one of the most memorable in the club's storied history. Arteta had labelled the clash with Real as the "biggest night" of his career as he urged his players to write their own history by winning Arsenal's first Champions League crown. They rose to the challenge so successfully that even Arteta might have been surprised. Arsenal trail Premier League leaders Liverpool by 11 points and look destined to finish as runners-up for a third successive season. But the Champions League now offers Arteta genuine hope of a first major trophy since the 2020 FA Cup, providing they can finish the job in Madrid next week. Beaten by Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals last season, Arsenal's only Champions League final appearance ended in defeat against Barcelona in 2006 -- a run that included a last 16 victory over Real. For Real, it was a chastening defeat as the 15-time European champions were punished for the flaws that had already seen them beaten 10 times in all competitions this term as they lag four points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona. Jude Bellingham was largely anonymous and Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior posed only sporadic threats after a promising start. Vinicius Junior threatened in the opening stages, curling wide after Mbappe picked him out inside the Arsenal area. Mbappe's electric pace took him clear of the Arsenal defence in another lightning raid, but the France star shot straight at David Raya. Arsenal showed no signs of being cowed by Real's star-studded attack and Rice's towering header from Jurrien Timber's cross forced a fine save from Thibaut Courtois, who scrambed across to keep out Gabriel Martinelli's effort from the rebound. Mbappe lashed into the side-netting from an acute angle, but Real were unable to match Arsenal's intensity in the second half and the Gunners deservedly took the lead in the 58th minute. Rice stepped up 25 yards from goal and whipped a sublime free-kick around the Real wall and into the far corner. It was a stunning strike that even former Real defender and set-piece maestro Roberto Carlos, watching from the Emirates stands, would have been proud of. Arsenal almost struck again in a remarkable sequence that saw Courtois save Martinelli's blast before Merino's shot from the rebound was hacked off the line by David Alaba and Courtois again denied Merino. Real were on the ropes and Rice landed another devastating blow in the 70th minute, lashing an unstoppable free-kick into the top corner from 20 yards as Courtois grasped at thin air. As the ecstatic Arsenal fans roared "Declan Rice, we got him half praise", that reference to his £105 million fee didn't seem like hyperbole for once. Arsenal weren't finished yet and Merino put Arsenal in dreamland five minutes later with a clinical finish from 12 yards as the Emirates turned into a roiling red sea of celebration.

Xabi Alonso arrival places new midfielder amongst Real Madrid options
Real Madrid are already preparing for the arrival of Xabi Alonso this summer, something that was being talked about back in September if Carlo Ancelotti did not achieve success this season. However there was less expectation that it would mean as large a shake-up in terms of their transfer window. Ancelotti has already agreed an exit deal with Real Madrid, and after Trent Alexander-Arnold announced he was leaving Liverpool, he will be the first reinforcement for Alonso. The post-Toni Kroos struggles mean and their defensive injury record mean that at least two more recruits are expected in the summer. A midfield move for Real Madrid Los Blancos had hoped that Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni and Fede Valverde would be sufficient to fill the void left by Kroos, but it has become evident that this is not the case. Real Madrid have struggled to control games, and are keen to bring in a midfielder capable of progressing the ball effectively. Image via El Desmarque As per Cadena Cope, that midfielder could be Valencia talent Javi Guerra. The 21-year-old was pursued by Bayer Leverkusen last summer, with Alonso as his chief advocate in Germany. Now with Alonso arriving at the Santiago Bernabeu, and Real Madrid keen to sign more Spanish players, Guerra is an option that has been discussed and is on the table for Los Blancos. Real Madrid could clash with Atletico Madrid City rivals Atletico Madrid were on the verge of signing Guerra last summer, with a deal agreed for a €25.5m plus €5m in variables move. He was the preferred option for current Director of Football Carlos Bucero, but Atletico ended up signing Conor Gallagher instead. They remain interested in Guerra, and could move for him again, although the Valencia man also has admirers in Italy, England and the Bundesliga again. Javi Guerra's revival under Carlos Corberan Guerra has returned to form under Carlos Corberan, after being watched by Newcastle United and Manchester United earlier in the season. That much was evident at the Santiago Bernabeu in April, when his marauding through midfield helped set up Valencia's stoppage time winner against Los Blancos. He has been instrumental in the revival of Los Che under Corberan, scoring three times, assisting thrice and making 33 Liga appearances.
