Carvajal: "Real Madrid is my life"

Dani Carvajal spoke to Realmadrid TV after playing his last match in the Real Madrid jersey. The captain expressed his emotions following the tribute at the Bernabéu: “It’s hard to describe. You get emotional without knowing how, just yesterday seeing the training ground. Today, stepping out and seeing the great tifo they made for me, the loud ovations they gave me… How could I not be emotional? I’m closing a wonderful chapter of my life and a career I couldn’t even dream of. I only have words of gratitude for this club and its fans. Once again, thank you. I’ve enjoyed it like a child from my first day to my last. I hope it’s mutual, that all madridistas have enjoyed my 451 matches. I hope to return to what is my home in the future. In a different way, but to continue helping as always.”

“If someone had told me as a child that I would have this career, I wouldn’t have even imagined it. It has been wonderful. Spectacular from the first day to the last, with all kinds of experiences, lessons, triumphs, tough moments where you also mature and find the positive side… Sharing the locker room with wonderful people, players, coaches, kit managers, press officers. It’s the best club in the world, and I’ve always tried to be kind to everyone, to be myself and transparent, even with my frustrations when I lost in training or missed a pass. But that’s who I am, and I hope everyone has a good memory of Dani Carvajal. We’ll see each other in the future, for sure.”

What Real Madrid has meant
“Real Madrid isn’t just the club of my life, it is my life. I was practically born a madridista, I’ve been here for 23 years; I’ve gone through absolutely all the categories and won every title possible with this club. I’ve become the captain, I can’t ask for anything more. I leave very happy and fulfilled.”
