Álvaro Carreras enjoyed a memorable evening as he netted his first goal for Real Madrid in a commanding 4-0 victory over Valencia. The young defender expressed his joy during the mixed zone after the match, highlighting his satisfaction with his integration into the team. “Since my arrival, I’ve always said that I would support the team as much as possible. Sometimes I play more defensively, but today I was able to push forward a bit more. I’m thrilled to be here and hope there will be many more goals,” he stated.
Real Madrid’s recent performances have showcased their formidable form, with Carreras pointing out that there is always room for improvement. “The team is performing at a very high level, as demonstrated in several matches, including our great game against Barça and today’s performance. Let’s hope for more games like this,” he added. His enthusiasm reflects the team’s current momentum in La Liga, where they are looking to maintain their title challenge.
On International Aspirations
When asked about the possibility of receiving a call-up to the national team, Carreras expressed pride at the prospect. “I would be honored to represent my country. It’s been a fantastic year for me so far. I continue to work tirelessly for myself and my club. I’ve learned a lot from my teammates since joining and am proud to keep contributing,” he remarked, emphasizing his commitment to both club and country.
A Memorable Encounter with Yamal
The defender reflected on his battles with Lamine Yamal during El Clásico, noting, “I’ve enjoyed every match I’ve played against him. I felt fit and prepared; I study my opponents closely, and the entire team performed exceptionally well.” This tactical awareness has been crucial in his development as a player and has contributed to Real Madrid’s recent successes.
Addressing the €50 million transfer fee that brought him to Madrid, Carreras remained focused on his football rather than financial matters. “That’s not something I concern myself with. I dreamed of coming here; that’s between the clubs, and they reached an agreement,” he said decisively.
Reflecting on his stunning goal against Valencia, Carreras shared, “Scoring here has been a dream since I arrived, but I wasn’t rushing it. I struck with my soul, not just my foot. The ball went in, and I’m incredibly happy about it.” His celebration was subdued—true to his role as a defender—but the joy of scoring was evident in his demeanor.
As Carreras continues to establish himself at Real Madrid, fans will undoubtedly be eager to see what he can achieve next. Can he maintain this momentum and solidify his place in both club and international football? Only time will tell.
