Who was named MOTM for Real Madrid vs Valencia? | OneFootball

An oft-overlooked member of the defensive ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid secured the Man of the Match award for his performance in the club’s latest outing.

The player in question? Álvaro Carreras.

Full-back Carreras was for his part in from the off on Sunday, as Real Madrid made the trip to Valencia for a La Liga clash.

When all was said and done, Los Blancos emerged on the right side of a 2-0 result.

And Spaniard Carreras played nothing short of a pivotal role in as much…

Midway through the 2nd-half, the matchup remained firmly in the balance, as Real Madrid struggled to carve out clear-cut goalscoring opportunities.

Carreras, in turn, took the game by the scruff of the neck, surging into the Valencia penalty area before slotting home a right-footed finish.

Added to his solid efforts on the defensive side of the ball, these endeavours proved enough for the former Benfica man to lift the Man of the Match prize at Mestalla.
