Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal has expressed his support for Dani Carvajal following the Real Madrid defender’s unfortunate ACL injury during a match against Villarreal.
The talented 17-year-old took to social media to send a heartfelt message, encouraging Carvajal to stay strong as he embarks on his recovery journey. Yamal’s words highlight the camaraderie that exists among players, even when they belong to rival clubs.
“Much strength Carva. You will be back like the bull you are,” he wrote on Instagram.
It must be noted that Carvajal’s occurred in the closing moments of Real Madrid’s 2-0 victory over Villarreal. As the game approached its end, a chilling scream from Carvajal echoed, signalling that something was terribly wrong.
It was instantly clear that he was in distress, as the seasoned defender collapsed on the pitch, tears streaming down his face. The sight of a player who has been integral to Real Madrid’s defence in such pain was heartbreaking for fans and teammates alike.
Gavi and Pedri had shared their thoughts
In addition to Yamal, fellow Barcelona players Pedri and Gavi also shared their feelings about the incident, showing that football is not just about competition but also about solidarity.
“Stay strong, my brother! I am sure we will cry together with joy again,” wrote Pedri, while Gavi said, “Strength to you my Carva! You will come back like the animal you are.”
Carvajal’s injury represents a significant setback for Real Madrid, as he has been a vital part of their defensive line for years. However, with the support of his teammates and the wider football community, he can now focus on his recovery.
The road to rehabilitation may be challenging, but Carvajal has proven time and again his resilience and dedication to the sport.
