Carreras: We are proving this, and I am living a dream

Álvaro Carreras, a player for Real Madrid, expressed his great happiness at contributing to the emphatic victory over Rayo Vallecano with a score of 4-1 in the fifth round of La Liga, confirming that the team entered the match with a strong mentality from the very first minutes.

Álvaro Carreras said in statements after the match: "First of all, there was a great intensity from the first minute. We entered the match together and with great enthusiasm to prove that we are playing at home and that we are one team. Playing at home requires us to earn the three points, which is extremely important, and we entered with this mentality and managed to achieve that."

Speaking about scoring one of Real Madrid's goals, Álvaro Carreras explained: "It was a great match from the whole team, but I am of course happy with the goal, which is my first this year. I received the ball from Jude or one of my teammates inside, passed it to Kylian, then he returned it to me, and fortunately, it reached me inside the penalty area, and I was able to finish the attack, and I am very happy about that."

Álvaro Carreras spoke about his feelings after delivering a strong performance, having caused a penalty, scored a goal, and participated throughout the 90 minutes, saying: "I am very happy, and I am living a dream as I said from day one. I will continue to enjoy this amazing experience of playing for the best club in the world and keep working towards achieving the team's goals."

Regarding the role that José Mourinho asks of him and the defensive duties of the full-backs, he said: "In the end, the coach asks us for a lot of effort, and it is difficult to maintain this level for the entire 90 minutes. Especially in the final minutes, I think he brought in Cucurella to help me defensively and assist the team, because we were struggling a bit. In the last match, my role was to assist him, and today his role was to assist me."

Álvaro Carreras concluded his remarks by discussing Real Madrid's attacking strength at the Santiago Bernabéu, where the team has scored 14 goals in four home matches, saying: "As I told you before, we are focused on our clear goals. We want to go out to win every match in order to move forward, apply pressure, and most importantly finish all attacks, because we know we have a lot of goals, and we are proving that."
