Dani Carvajal Confident Real Madrid Will Overcome Current Struggles
Real Madrid’s Dani Carvajal has acknowledged that the team’s recent performances are below their usual standard but remains optimistic about their future. The Los Blancos have been pulling off wins from unconvincing performances this season.
Speaking about the same, Carvajal stated, “It’s true that we may not be performing at our best level but once we do, we will be unstoppable.”
This comes amidst scrutiny over the team’s inconsistency in recent matches. Despite the challenges, Carvajal is confident that the squad will soon find its form and become dominant in their forthcoming fixtures.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Real Madrid began their UEFA Champions League campaign with a 3-1 victory over VfB Stuttgart. The match not only saw Endrick make history as the youngest Real Madrid player to score in the competition but also marked the return of Jude Bellingham. After a period on the sidelines, Bellingham made his comeback, starting in midfield and playing for eighty minutes before being substituted by Endrick late in the game.

Seedorf Issues Caution to Bellingham
This season could be the busiest in the team’s history, with Los Blancos competing in up to seven different tournaments.
With matches nearly every three days, the players are facing significant strain, while their well-being seems to go unnoticed by the organizing bodies.
As Bellingham aims to regain full fitness and embark on the new season, he has received a cautionary note from football legend Clarence Seedorf. In an interview with the Daily Mail (h/t SPORT), Seedorf discussed the demands of excelling at the highest level, emphasising the importance of “lots of hours of work, staying fit, resting, even during matches.”
The Dutchman, who had a four-year stint at Real Madrid, advised Bellingham to manage his energy wisely and avoid making excessive runs during matches.
