After coming in for criticism for his performances against Barça and Sevilla, Carvajal looked to redeem himself against Rayo with a goal, but the perfect stage to do so was on Wednesday, and boy did he come through: he provided the assist for the first goalof the gameand covered his back well against quick players such as Aubameyang.
Against Borussia Dortmund, the full back knew that he had a tough job with a lot of responsibility. After being accused of letting defenders get in behind him too easily, he had to face a strong counterattacking side with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in their ranks, considered the fastest player in the world.
The Spaniard started the game like a house on fire, providing the assist for Bale to score on 3 minutes after penetrating the area off a good pass inside from Benzema. It was his third assist in his first season as a Real player.
As for his passing, he completed 58 out of the 65 passes which he attempted, giving him a passing accuracy of 89%. This is a commendable figure, taking into account the number of times that the home-grown player risks making vertical passes, attempting to link up with the attacking players. Furthermore, the two crosses which he made went to Karim Benzema, whose shots failed to find the back of the net
