Real Madrid bids farewell to legend Carvajal.

Real Madrid have officially announced that Dani Carvajal will leave the club at the end of the 2025/26 season.

Real Madrid has officially announced that Dani Carvajal will leave the club at the end of the 2025/26 season. This decision marks the end of one of the most successful and emotional chapters in the history of the Royal team.

The Spanish defender bid farewell to Bernabeu after 13 seasons with the first team and more than two decades wearing the white shirt since joining the La Fábrica academy in 2002.

In a statement released on May 18th, Real Madrid called Carvajal "one of the greatest legends of the club and world football." The Royal team also confirmed that they will hold a tribute to their captain in their final match of the season against Athletic Club at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.

Carvajal left Real Madrid after a difficult season. He lost his place in the team following a serious injury sustained in October 2024. The arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold also significantly reduced the veteran defender's role in the team's personnel plans.

Nevertheless, that cannot overshadow the legacy that Carvajal left behind.

The defender, born in 1992, is one of only five players in football history to have won six Champions League titles. He played 450 games for Real Madrid, scoring 14 goals and winning a total of 27 trophies.

Carvajal's collection includes 6 Champions League titles, 6 FIFA Club World Cups, 5 UEFA Super Cups, 4 La Liga titles, 2 Copa del Rey titles, and 4 Spanish Super Cups.

Not only successful at club level, Carvajal is also a key player for the Spanish national team. He has 51 caps for the national team, winning the 2023 Nations League and EURO 2024.

During his peak years, Carvajal was always considered a prime example of Real Madrid's fighting spirit. He stood out for his passion, determination, and consistency throughout more than a decade.

President Florentino Perez paid special tribute to the Spanish defender: “Dani Carvajal is a legend and an icon of Real Madrid and the club's academy. Carvajal has always represented the values of Real Madrid. This will always be his home.”

Few will forget Carvajal's extraordinary journey at Bernabeu. After rising through Real Madrid's youth ranks, he had to move to Bayer Leverkusen in 2012 to find playing opportunities. Just one season in the Bundesliga was enough for Carvajal to convince Real Madrid to activate the buy-back clause.

Since his return in 2013, he quickly became the first-choice right-back and played a key role in the most successful period in the modern history of the Royal team.

Carvajal's departure not only marks the end of a brilliant right-back's career, but also signifies the end of an icon who has embodied Real Madrid's winning DNA for over a decade.
