His cry of pain froze the approximately 75,000 spectators at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. Real Madrid’s victory this Saturday against Villarreal (2-0) was not without damage. While Kylian Mbappé was discreet for his return to the eleven, the Madrilenians lost Dani Carvajal to injury at the very end of the match. After contact with Yeremy Pino, the Spanish full-back saw his right leg lock and his knee make a movement that was far from natural.
The Spaniard screamed in pain before bursting into tears, then was joined by his teammates who tried to comfort him.

Vinicius also affected
Hands on his face, the vice-captain of Real Madrid was evacuated on a stretcher. If it is still too early to make any diagnosis, the verdict could be heavy for the Madrid defender. If the evening’s result allows the Merengue to temporarily join Barça at the top of La Liga, it is not without consequences. Besides Carvajal, Vinicius also came out with shoulder discomfort.
