Carvajal: “Thanks to our fans and everyone's dedication we got the win"

Carvajal's stoppage-time winner gave Real Madrid all thre victory over Almería at the Santiago Bernabéu. The defender, who was one of the game's standout performers, said: "It was a very bad first half and, nowadays, if you waste a half it can be costly. The opposition got two goals against us, but from the break we went all out and thanks to our fans and everyone's commitment we managed to get the win".

"I would have preferred to have won in a more comfortable manner, but this speaks of what this badge, this stadium and our history are all about: believing until the end. We said it at half-time, that anything could happen until the last minute".

Supporters
"Thanks to all the fans, who drove us all the way through the second half. We dedicate the win to them".

The goal to make it 3-2
"The ball fell to me in the middle of the pitch. I moved forward, I opened up for Brahim, I take the man and he put it in. I got there with everything I had, with the last bit of energy I had left, and I managed to put it in".

Never give up
"We knew that it was up to us, that if we wanted to play with rhythm, intensity and our talent, we could get the win".

Physical strain
"Two extra periods, long journeys, a game today at 4.15pm, after playing on Thursday? Not much rest. We have to say well done to the team, they've given absolutely everything. We'll now see how exhausted our team-mates are, just like me. It feels good when you give everything you've got and in the end you get the goal, you go home very pleased".
