Carvajal: We Need to Implement What Happens in the Premier League, and the Mistakes That Cost Us the Match
Saturday 27-09-2025
Dani Carvajal, a player for Real Madrid, spoke to the media following the loss to Atletico Madrid with a score of 5-2 at the "Metropolitano" Stadium in the seventh round of La Liga.

The player said: "A match like the derby, we all know its importance, and losing it is never a good thing. We did the hardest thing by coming back after being down 1-0, but we were not precise at some moments and made many mistakes that cost us the match."

He added: "We have to move forward, it’s only three points. Of course, we feel a great disappointment after losing the derby, but the season is long. Sometimes such a slap is necessary to wake us up and not to believe that everything is going perfectly."

Regarding Sorloth's celebration with the fans: "We asked for a yellow card because the rules state that you cannot celebrate a goal with the fans to avoid any stampede or security issues. The referee said that the situation was under control and there was no danger, which is why he did not show the card."

He continued: "No words will comfort us today. We are very frustrated, but tomorrow the sun will rise again. We will work harder to get back on the winning path. This loss should hurt us and motivate us for the upcoming matches."

On the tackle from an Atletico Madrid player: "I didn’t see the replay. I know he hit me, but I didn’t watch the play closely. If they decided it’s not a red card, they surely have their reasons. The marks from the cleats are still clear on me."

Regarding Mustantuno's frustration with the ball collectors, he concluded: "It's simple, we need to implement what happens in the English league. Several balls are placed around the pitch and the player goes to retrieve them, without relying on ball collectors. Because it affects whether the home team is ahead or behind... The solution is simple and we have a clear example in a neighboring league."
