Camavinga scores six minutes into Real Madrid debut
– Eduardo Camavinga needed just six minutes to open his Real Madrid account after making his club debut against Celta Vigo on Sunday.
– The 18-year-old was brought in off the bench in the 66th minute against Celta and found the back of the net in the 72nd minute, giving his side a 4-2 advantage.
– Karim Benzema would later complete his hat-trick as Madrid won 5-2 at Santiago Bernabeu in La Liga.
– After Celta entered half-time with a 2-1 lead, Benzema scored his second goal of the match in the 46th minute, before Vinicius Jr. scored 10 minutes later to give the home side a 3-2 lead.
– With Camavinga on the pitch in place of Eden Hazard, Luka Modric took possession and went on a direct run through midfield before unleashing a shot with the outside of his boot inside the box.
– Celta goalkeeper Matias Dituro made the save, but Camavinga was on hand to tap home the rebound into an empty net.
– Last year, he became the youngest person to be called up to the France national team at senior level since 1932 and won three caps for Didier Deschamps’ side
