Álvaro Carrillo made his official Real Madrid debut against Arandina. The Castilla captain, who was named in the starting line-up and played 90 minutes, spoke to Realmadrid TV at the end of the clash: “It's a dream come true, I still can't believe it. I'm so happy, it's the best Christmas present I've ever had. I’ll never forget this day. I dreamt about this before I came here, when I started playing football in Murcia.”
“I've always worked, fought and tried to do my best. In the end, life rewards you like this. I was really nervous. I tried to take a nap but I couldn't because I was so nervous. I've been supported by my family and it's been an incredible day. Things turned out as I expected and I'm very happy.”
Advice from his teammates
“They take it naturally. They tell you to be calm and relaxed and to do what you do with your team. They make you feel very comfortable and confident on the pitch. I'm going to frame this shirt. I'm going to wear it at home. I'm going to cherish this shirt forever.”
