Real Madrids pursuit of silverware this season has taken an unexpected and dramatic twist just days before their eagerly awaited Copa del Rey final against arch-rivals Barcelona. After a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Getafe, Carlo Ancelottis squad now finds itself grappling with a new crisis: two pivotal players are on the brink of being declared unavailable for the crucial showdown in Seville.

The stakes for this final couldnt be higher. Memories of previous defeats at the hands of Barcelona still linger in the minds of players and fans alikemost notably, the stunning 4-0 loss at the Santiago Bernabeu and a disheartening 5-2 defeat in the Super Cup. With emotions charged and the historical rivalry intensifying, every match against Barcelona is a battle not only for points but for pride.

On paper, Wednesdays victory against Getafe seemed like a straightforward result. Arda Gler netted the only goal, keeping Los Blancos just four points behind league leaders Barcelona in the La Liga standings. However, the implications of this win came at a much steeper cost than the scoreline suggests.

In his post-match press conference, Coach Carlo Ancelotti painted a rather bleak picture regarding his teams injury woes. We will see tomorrow what the medical exams say, but [Alaba and Camavinga] both suffered leg muscle injuries and it looks very unlikely for them to make it to Saturdays final, he stated, casting a shadow over Madrids preparations for the upcoming clash.

While the return of both Kylian Mbapp and Ferland Mendy offers some silver lining, Ancelotti still faces the challenge of piecing together a coherent defense. The prospect of contending with Barcelonas teenage sensation, Lamine Yamal, who is expected to start in the final, only adds to the urgency of the situation.

The concerns have now been confirmed regarding Camavinga, who has been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to a complete rupture of his left adductor tendon. This news comes as a crushing blow to Madrids midfield, which relies heavily on his dynamic playing style and youthful energy.

Renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano broke the news on social media stating, Eduardo Camavinga has been diagnosed with a complete tear of his left adductor tendon. Following this announcement, Real Madrid released an official statement confirming the injury and adding that his recovery will be assessed, although sources within the club estimate a significant recovery period of around three months.

As Real Madrid heads into this pivotal Copa del Rey final, the absence of both Camavinga and Alaba would leave a gaping hole in the squad. The teams resilience and ability to adapt under pressure will be put to the ultimate test against their fiercest rivals, and the outcome of this match could very well define their season.
