Why Did Xabi Alonso Replace Camavinga

Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga was substituted at halftime during the Champions League match against Olympiacos. The French player started the game in the starting lineup and played the entire first half.

However, at the beginning of the second half, Dani Ceballos replaced him. According to journalist Jose Luis Sanchez, Camavinga has not fully recovered from the flu, and he experienced difficulty breathing during the 45 minutes he played.

At halftime, Real Madrid was leading 3-1. All three goals were scored by Kylian Mbappe.

At the beginning of the second half, Olympiacos managed to reduce the deficit as Mehdi Taremi scored.
