Real Madrid fans on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) hailed Eduardo Camavinga's impact after coming on as a substitute in the El Clasico on Saturday (October 28).

Los Blancos earned a come-from-behind 2-1 win at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys. After Ilkay Gundogan scored his first Barcelona goal to give his team the lead, Jude Bellingham scored a stunning brace to complete the comeback.

Camavinga came on as a 52nd-minute substitute for Ferland Mendy when Los Blancos were trailing. Fans think Camavinga's introduction turned the tide in Carlo Ancelotti's team's favour.

One tweeted:

"Carlo Ancelloti should never bench Camavinga ever again. This guy is an absolute monster. Simply top class."

Another opined:

"He is all we need, he carry the ball really well."

One claimed:

"Let's not forget this King. Camavinga changed the game and the ref stole a penalty from him."

Here're some of the best reactions on X after Eduardo Camavinga's cameo in El Clasico:

Real Madrid moved back to the top of La Liga following the win against Barcelona. They have 28 points from 11 games, ahead of second-placed Girona on goal difference. Defending champions Barcelona are third with 24 points from 11 outings.
