However, Real Madrid also paid a heavy price when defender Dani Carvajal suffered a very serious injury. In an attempt to compete with Yeremy Pino in the 90+2 minute, the Spanish defender stretched his leg over the opponent’s defender. His knee hit the Villarreal midfielder’s thigh.

The slow-motion video shows that Dani Carvajal’s leg was almost bent and deformed after this collision. The Spanish player screamed in pain and lay on the ground holding his knee. The defender born in 1992 was carried off the field on a stretcher and taken to the hospital. He cried out in pain.

According to ESPN, Dani Carvajal may have torn his anterior cruciate ligament. Meanwhile, coach Ancelotti also admitted that his student suffered a serious injury. He said: “The Real Madrid dressing room is very sad for Dani Carvajal. He has suffered a serious injury. It is unfortunate that this happened to our important player. I hope Dani Carvajal will have the least problem possible.”

According to Spanish media, Dani Carvajal will likely be out for a long time, or even the rest of the season. Today, the defender born in 1992 will undergo a detailed examination to determine his condition.

Also in the match against Villarreal, Real Madrid faced another worry. Vinicius Jr was taken off the field in the 79th minute to make way for Guler. This player has a sore neck and needs further examination. Coach Ancelotti also did not want to risk the Brazilian player for fear that his condition would worsen.
