Dani Carvajal reflected on Real Madrid’s 2-0 win over Espanyol with satisfaction, praising the team’s defensive solidity and overall control of the match.
“We’re happy. The team played a complete game,” Carvajal told Real Madrid TV after the final whistle. “We didn’t suffer much defensively. We knew Espanyol was a good team. We were organized and intense. We’re still at the top of the table. It couldn’t be better. We’re getting better and better at finding the way the manager wants us to play, picking
up the concepts and getting off to an idyllic start.”
Carvajal also took a moment to address his red card in the Champions League earlier this week, expressing regret for the incident.
“I want to apologize for the other day, the sending-off in the Champions League, something unbecoming of a game like that and of me, and I hope it doesn’t happen again,” he said. “But the team made a great effort and won the match.”
The Spanish full-back’s apology comes as Madrid continue to ride strong momentum, both in LaLiga and in Europe. With another clean sheet and three points secured, Xabi Alonso’s men remain top of the league table, building further confidence as they adapt to the demands of their manager’s system.
