During a Champions League group stage match between Real Madrid and Internazionale, an incident occurred when Vinicius was slow to leave the field after being substituted, preventing Camavinga from entering and leaving Real Madrid with 10 men on the pitch.

This season, a new substitution rule has been implemented in football: when the substitution board is raised, the substituted player must leave the field within 10 seconds of the board being shown. If the player does not leave within the set time, he must leave anyway, but the substitute cannot enter immediately. Instead, the substitute must wait at least 1 minute and can only enter at the next stoppage in play.

According to the live broadcast, the substitution board was raised at 86 minutes and 32 seconds.

At that moment, Vinicius was apparently unaware of the rule, leaving the field slowly while enjoying the applause from supporters and interacting with the crowd.

By the time Vinicius left the field, more than 20 seconds had passed.

The fourth official then signaled to Camavinga that he could not enter the match and had to serve a penalty period on the sideline.

Real Madrid now had 10 men on the field, playing with a numerical disadvantage.

When the match reached its next stoppage in play, Camavinga signaled that he was ready to enter.

However, judging by the timing, less than 1 minute had passed since Vinicius left the field, and the penalty period had not yet expired.

Playing with one fewer man, Real Madrid retreated defensively as Internazionale pressed with an attack, creating a threat while anxious whistles echoed through the Bernabéu.

Only after this dangerous moment did Camavinga finally enter as a substitute, bringing Real Madrid back to full strength.

The application of this new rule left Real Madrid with 10 men for approximately two minutes. Had Internazionale scored an equalizer during this period, Vinicius's lapse could have been considered a costly error.
