Real Madrid's 2-0 win was dampened by the news that Dani Carvajal will be sidelined for the rest of the season due to a severe ACL injury that requires surgery. Carvajal sustained the injury during the game and later confirmed his condition through social media, vowing to come back stronger after his recovery.
In response to this setback, Real Madrid is reportedly considering Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk as a potential solution to strengthen their defense. Van Dijk's leadership, aerial ability, and versatility in defense could be vital as Madrid looks to handle upcoming key fixtures.
While securing Van Dijk would involve a substantial investment, his presence could reinforce Madrid’s backline and support their goals for the remainder of the season.
Carvajal’s injury leaves a significant void, but Real Madrid is actively seeking reinforcements to stay on track and keep their momentum going.
