Madrid's third Champions League triumph in a row saw the team travel to FIFA's prestigious club competition and Solari's men were excellent defeating Japanese team Kashima Antlers, who won the AFC Champions League this year, 3-1 thanks to a hattrick from revived Gareth Bale.
Meanwhile, Dani Carvajal, who was instrumental to the Los Blancos' confident performance, has reached a remarkable milestone: the full-back has won his 150th game in Real Madrid shirt.
Moreover, Caravajal only needed 216 appearances to complete this achievement. To that milestone, the Spain international can also add 4 Champions Leagues, 3 Club World Cups, 3 European Super Cups, 1 LaLiga title, 1 Copa del Rey and 1 Spanish Super Cup won in process. Not bad, for a 26-year-old!
This term, the right-back managed 10 wins in 16 games played, one of the best ratios among his fellow Real Madrid players. His best return in this regard came in the 2013-14 season, when he won 37 games, followed by 2014-15 and 2016-17, with 27.
No wonder that the reputable source CIES Football Observatory included Dani Carvajal as the sole Madrid player in CIES la Liga Best XI.
