On 12 May 2004, he was the protagonist of an iconic image in our history, laying the first stone of the Ciudad Real Madrid alongside the then honorary president Alfredo Di Stéfano.

"He has been part of the first team since 2013 and in the twelve seasons in which he has defended our shirt he has become a legend of Real Madrid and world football.

"With Real Madrid he won 26 titles in 427 matches: 6 Champions Leagues, 5 Club World Cups, 5 European Super Cups, 4 leagues, 2 Copa del Reyes and 4 Spanish Super Cups. Carvajal is one of only five players to have won six European Cups. At Wembley on 1 June, he was named best player in the Champions League final, where Real Madrid won their 15th European Cup.

"Carvajal is also a legend of the Spanish national team, with which he received 50 caps. With the Spain jersey he won 1 European Championship, 1 Nations League, 1 European Under-21 Championship and 1 European Under-19 Championship.

"Real Madrid wants to show him all its support and affection and wishes him a speedy recovery, so that he can enjoy his football on the pitch again as soon as possible."
