Dani Carvajal bids emotional farewell in Madrid’s 4-2 win over Athletic Club

Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal bids an emotional farewell to the fans as his side beat Athletic Club 4-2 in their final La Liga home game after 451 appearances, including six Champions League wins.

The 34-year-old is officially out of contract this summer and performed incredibly during his time.  He personally thanked former teammates like Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos, and Carlo Ancelotti.

On his Instagram account he explained his emotions leaving Real Madrid: “Madridistas, one of the most difficult moments of my life has arrived. This weekend I will wear our shirt for the last time. I still remember that day in 2002, when I received the best gift a child could imagine: the centenary kit for my first communion and the news that I would be joining Real Madrid’s youth academy.”

“I’m closing this chapter after more than 450 matches, having given absolutely everything. I can only thank you for every clap, for every magical night, for pushing us towards impossible victories, and for making the Bernabeu the place where dreams come true. Thank you for being there in the difficult times, for your unconditional support, and for making me feel part of something much bigger than myself.”

“I leave with a full heart and eternal pride. Knowing that I gave everything for this club, because being a Madridista isn’t explained, it’s felt. Goodbye forever, Real Madrid.

It is pertinent to note that Carvajal has been known for his incredible performance for winning 27 titles, including six Champions Leagues, and four La Liga titles.
