After shining at Benfica, Carreras does it again for Real Madrid (Video) | OneFootball

Since leaving Benfica, Álvaro Carreras has been delivering impressive performances for Real Madrid - where he has been receiving a lot of praise. More recently, the young Spaniard was the hero of the match against Mallorca (2-1 for the blancos), by preventing what could very well have been the equalizing goal right on the goal line.

At the end of the match, at the legendary Santiago Bernabéu, the young left-back began by highlighting how important his adaptation to the merengue emblem has been and rejoiced in being in a good moment of his career: “The nights I've always dreamed of are starting to happen here, I am very happy.”

Next, the former number 3 - who will have a reunion with Benfica in the Champions League - recalled the ‘in extremis’ clearance he made just after the 65th minute and stated: “I promised from the day I signed that it was a dream and that I would give everything. That was what I could give to the team, that's why I'm here.”

Asked about the games he has been playing with the Real Madrid jersey, the defender emphasized the importance of being well-received in the team: “No, that’s thanks to my teammates, who welcomed me very well from day one, I feel at home, I have no complaints, we continue to work.”

Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso, coach of the European giant, made a point of praising the number 18 again: “I was already following him and was very happy with his arrival. It couldn’t be at the Club World Cup [there he still represented Benfica], but it happened now. He knows the house well and it is expected that this will be positive, but his level is extraordinary.”
