Its hero is Carvajal... A new storm at Real Madrid.
Real Madrid secured three valuable points with a 2-0 victory over Valencia in La Liga, with Dani Carvajal being the hero of the match with a new storm. Real Madrid manager Alvaro Arbeloa surprised everyone by choosing David Jimenez, a graduate of the club's academy, to start at right-back, while keeping Dani Carvajal and Trent Alexander-Arnold on the bench. Trent Alexander-Arnold returned from injury after coming on as a substitute for Jimenez (21 years old) in the 76th minute of the match, while Carvajal continued to be excluded, and he seemed surprised by the decision to include his English teammate. After the match, Carvajal spent some time talking with fitness coach Antonio Pintus, and he seemed upset about not playing, which raised many questions. In the press conference following the match, Arbeloa said that he "sees Danny gradually improving in training" but that he did not want to "take any risks". For its part, "The Athletic" website revealed that Real Madrid's management has doubts about renewing Dani Carvajal's contract, noting that sources from the player's side are also unconvinced about him staying. He added that this situation might prompt the club to look for a right-back in the summer, and this idea has already been discussed within the club. It is worth noting that Carvajal has spent 23 years at Real Madrid and enjoys a special status at the club, but his future remains uncertain. The 34-year-old captain's contract expires next June, and no negotiations have taken place to renew it so far, noting that he has not played a single minute in Real Madrid's last 4 matches.
