Real Madrid beat Barcelona at the Bernabéu in a match that saw Carvajal notch up his 200th LaLiga victory. “It was a deserved win and the result doesn't even do us justice. It was a crucial game against a direct rival. We're leaving with a great feeling and three more points in the table”.

“We played really well without the ball, knowing when to press and when to stay together. The team suffered very little and we hardly conceded any chances.”

Being the captain in El Clásico
“It's amazing to be the Real Madrid captain and beat Barcelona here at home. But we're realistic and it's only three points. Hopefully it will be key at the end of the LaLiga season, but we have to keep going.”

The fans
“They were spectacular. I want to thank all the fans because they carried us along and supported us throughout the match and in the most difficult moments. From the moment we arrived on the bus, it was spectacular and this victory is also theirs. The atmosphere was amazing”.

Carvajal reaches 200 LaLiga victories in his thirteenth season with the first team. He has played 293 games and scored 10 goals. He has also won this trophy four times. The captain made his debut in this competition on 18 August 2013, with his first victory (2-1 against Betis). Since then, the team he has beaten most often in LaLiga is Real Sociedad (14).
