Carvajal rose as Real Madrid legend with an anthological goal against Dortmund that allowed him to equal Paco Gento with six European Cups. If you tell the boy who laid the first stone of the Valdebebas Sports City in 2004 that he would surpass the legend who accompanied him, Alfredo Di Stéfano, I would think you were laughing at him. But modern Real Madrid has long since surpassed the memory of the classic.
The side’s goal was the reward for insistence which also rewards Nacho, Modric or Kroos with a sextet that confirms the intergenerational dominance of Real Madrid. “It was very hard to spend ten years at Real Madrid and not make my debut. I had done everything well at Castilla, goals, assists… I thought, if I renew I could have the opportunity to make my debut. They told me that I was not going to play, but I had to earn it,” he confessed about his loan at Leverkusen, an experience in Germany that toughened him up.
Real Madrid makes the exceptional its routine
The country that made him change his chip suffered firsthand the confidence of the player who believed more than the rest to knock down Dortmund. Because his headshot produced a glorious domino effect that culminated in Vinicius and allowed Comrade Kroos to say goodbye in style. He Real Madrid More undaunted, he buried Reus in his farewell and, like so many other times, he knew how to suffer. The endless story of white glory that reaches 15 defeated finals in Europe.
The favorite tag cannot be washed. It goes on the Real Madrid shirt in any final. Only if Manchester City crosses the white path, with Guardiola at the helm of operations, will the percentages at least equalize. But in the Champions League, against Borussia Dortmund, there was no debate. Ancelotti’s men took to the Wembley field like a war general ready to add another stadium to their long collection.
And not just any one, because the English temple is one of those that serve to crown a magnificent work like the 2023/2024 season. Carletto took “a nap like a lion” in the preview, although he was seen with the typical half smile that precedes a final. Real Madrid insists on making a term that is exceptional routine. For the benefit of football, Borussia Dortmund insisted on reminding the European champion that he was psychologically prepared to fight. Without fear of success and much less of defeat.
Carvajal is the father of the Madrid family
The first half ended with eight shots in favor for the German team and two for a Real Madrid that was muzzled by the energy of Adeyemi, the brain of Brandt or the work of Füllkrug. However, at half-time the percentages were the following: 42% probability of victory for Real Madrid, 35% overtime and 23% draw. Even with the game stopped, the scores were moving in favor of the whites. Mathematics is the story of a team where the maximum stronghold was Thibaut Courtois while Vinicius waged war on his own. It is the usual formula, one man with offensive divinity and another prepared to stop threats.
These two emblems had to be added to the work of Carvajal, who lives an excellent maturity. Since he corrected his diet his performance has multiplied. With the immediate departure of Kroos and the future departure of ModricReal Madrid needs a head of the family who, in games like this, takes the lead. After passing through the locker room, it was clear that Dortmund had left the complexes, pushed by a volcanic fan who broke security to introduce hundreds of flares. A sad image, but one that will be on the cover of all the media.
Carvajal surpasses Dortmund’s twin towers
It was a meeting for stage fright, where life and death were suspended. A duel to convey Carvajal’s message, who assures that Real Madrid “instills fear and terror in rivals when the anthem plays.” But intentions were of no use against a Dortmund that was accumulating minutes without panic the ridiculous death that awaits all the white team’s rivals in the finale. And again Courtois, the name that Ancelotti has had clearer about since he saw that the two injuries had not diminished the best goalkeeper in the world’s reflexes one bit.
The Champions League final began with three spontaneous ones and faced the final minutes in search of a golden protagonist. He answered the call Carvajalthe man who was most involved in the final. The only one whose pulse did not tremble. She did it in the most unexpected way, with her 1.73 meters rebelling against the height of the German towers. Set pieces, the tool that would be natural for Dortmund. For more glorious naturalness, with assistance from Kroos, who buckled a golden generation.
