In Camavinga's Snapchat post, the latest Les Blues star said that he won't ever wash the Cristiano Ronaldo jersey. However, Camavinga's joy was short-lived, as the Juventus ace tested positive for COVID-19 and was subsequently placed in isolation. The 17-year-old's claim to never wash the kit came back to haunt him, as netizens incessantly trolled the in-demand defensive midfielder. Following the Cristiano Ronaldo COVID-19 test, Twitterati pointed out at how life came fast at Camavinga, who had vowed to not wash the jersey. 

Camavinga made his first-ever start for the World Champions in a 7-1 friendly win over Ukraine last week, and the 17-year-old capped the game with a goal. The goal made the Rennes star the second-youngest player to score for France, achieving the feat at the age of 17 years, 11 months. Only Maurice Gastiger, who scored against Switzerland in 1914 at the age of 17 years and 5 months was younger than Camavinga when he scored his first goal for the Les Blues.
