Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal has issued a powerful message to both fans and teammates following the club’s shock defeat to Albacete, admitting that the squad has “hit rock bottom” and fallen well short of the standards expected at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Speaking after the disappointing result, Carvajal did not shy away from responsibility, placing the blame squarely on the players. The defender stressed that the defeat was not down to external factors, but rather a collective failure within the squad. “The ones responsible are us, the players,” Carvajal admitted, underlining the seriousness of the situation.
The Spanish international acknowledged that Real Madrid have not been performing at a level worthy of the club’s history and expectations. He described the current form as unacceptable, stating that the team has simply not been “good enough” for a prolonged period. His comments echo growing concerns among supporters about consistency, mentality, and accountability within the squad.
Carvajal also revealed that internal discussions are set to take place as the team looks to respond positively to the setback. He confirmed that the players will come together to evaluate their performances and address the issues collectively. According to the captain, self-reflection will be key if Real Madrid are to turn their season around.
