The central match of the seventh round of the Spanish championship took place in Madrid in front of live fans. Atletico under Diego Simeone defeated their main rivals Real 5-2 at home, presenting their fans with an unforgettable victory.
This defeat was the first loss of the season for the Whites under Xabi Alonso, as Madrid had won six consecutive matches before this.
In the second half of the match, a serious problem arose for Real. The team captain and defensive leader Dani Carvajal was injured and left the game early. According to The Athletic, the 33-year-old player will undergo an in-depth medical examination and is currently suspected to have a serious injury to his right leg.
This situation has become a new headache for Xabi Alonso, as previously another right-back, Trent Alexander-Arnold, was also reported to be out due to injury.
As a result, Real currently has no natural right-backs in the squad. According to officials, until recovery, one of the versatile players — Federico Valverde — is expected to play in this position.
Fans are interested in how the defensive line will be formed in the team's upcoming matches and when Carvajal and Trent will return to the lineup.
