Dani Carvajal welcomed the competition that Trent Alexander-Arnold will bring to his status as Real Madrid’s first-choice right back and warned the summer recruit that he has always risen to the challenge presented by his past rivals.
Madrid paid Liverpool for the privilege of securing Alexander-Arnold’s services a month before his contract on Merseyside expired earlier this summer, whisking the England international across to the U.S. for the Club World Cup. At that time, Carvajal had not yet fully recovered from the ACL injury which sidelined him for most of the 2024–25 domestic campaign.
