After Real Madrid's victory against Napoli in the Champions League match at the Santiago Bernabéu, Eduardo Camavinga posted a photograph on his Instagram profile that has gone viral. In the picture, all Real Madrid players were seen posing with sunglasses.

Camavinga, who is still recovering from his knee injury, went down to the locker room after the game and made all his teammates wear those sunglasses. He then published a funny collage with snapshots of each of his teammates wearing his sunglasses. Seemingly harmless gesture, but it has had its consequences.

On Thursday, the French footballer had to delete the famous photograph, which has accumulated more than 900,000 likes on Instagram, due to a new battle between Nike and Adidas, as pointed out by Relevo. The fact is that the French player's sunglasses belong to the North American company with which he is associated, and numerous footballers sponsored by the German franchise appeared in his image. Among them is Jude Bellingham, one of the most visible faces of Adidas. Joselu, Mendy, Militao and Alaba, who also wear the German brand, and other Madridistas outside of Nike, such as Carvajal (Puma) or Rüdiger (Under Armour), are also in the photo.

Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that Adidas is the main sponsor of Real Madrid with a 120 million dollar contract. Camavinga's photo was an entirely unintentional and extremely profitable publicity stunt for Nike, but it also caused a great deal of anger for Adidas, forcing the French player to delete it.
