Signed earlier in the summer as part of a long-term defensive rebuild, Carreras has not only adapted seamlessly to life at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u but has also delivered performances that underline why Los Blancos were willing to invest heavily in him.<\/p>\n<p>The 21-year-old showcased his warrior-like mentality in the latest El Cl\u00e1sico, producing a display defined by composure, intensity, and tactical discipline. Carreras completed 25 out of 30 passes, demonstrating reliability in possession against one of Europe\u2019s most aggressive pressing sides. More impressively, he recorded a 100% success rate on long balls, highlighting his growing confidence in switching play and initiating attacks from deep.<\/p>\n<p>Defensively, Carreras was equally influential. He registered six recoveries, repeatedly disrupting Barcelona\u2019s rhythm and showing sharp positional awareness. His willingness to track back, engage in duels, and commit fully to defensive actions reflected a player ready to \u201cleave blood, sweat, and tears\u201d for the badge, a trait highly valued at Real Madrid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00c1lvaro Carreras\u2019 return to Real Madrid has quickly silenced any doubts surrounding his hefty \u20ac50 million move from Benfica, with\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":202,"featured_media":37658,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[4006,661,3796,564,2109,266,1330],"class_list":["post-16881","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-alvaro-carreras","tag-barcelona","tag-football","tag-hansi-flick","tag-madrid","tag-real-madrid","tag-spanish-super-cup"],"reading_time":"1 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/202"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16881\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
