Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal spent a lengthy nine months sidelined due to injury. Now back in action, he faces fresh competition from Trent Alexander-Arnold. But the Englishman's presence doesn't intimidate him in the slightest.
Details: Carvajal stated he is ready to play again and knows he'll give everything on the pitch. He views the rivalry with Trent as a personal challenge—one he relishes. Moreover, he has already settled in well with the team.
Quote: "From a professional point of view, it’s only natural—new players arrive in every team and in every position. I see this as a personal challenge—I enjoy competition. We have important tests ahead, and I hope this rivalry—let me stress, a healthy one—will only make the team stronger.
Trent has adapted brilliantly, gets along with everyone. He has a strong bond with Jude Bellingham, but he’s also very friendly with the rest of the squad. When we had a free evening, he joined us for a walk and dinner—he’s genuinely a great guy," Carvajal said.
