Carreras pays tribute at Real Madrid, but ex-Benfica snubs club icon | OneFootball

Álvaro Carreras thus completed his first season in the service of Real Madrid. In the aftermath of the match against Athletic Bilbao, the former Benfica left-back took to social media to leave a message addressed to the fans, but also to two players who are set to leave Los Blancos: Dani Carvajal and David Alaba.

"A win to say goodbye to the season at home. Thank you for the affection, madridistas!" wrote the merengue club’s number 18 to begin with, highlighting the 4-0 victory at the Santiago Bernabéu in what was the final match of the campaign. He then paid tribute to his teammates.

"We will miss you, legends. Thank you for letting me learn from you every day, because besides being great footballers, two great people are leaving", Carreras stressed, offering glowing praise to Dani Carvajal and David Alaba. The two defenders marked a golden era at Real Madrid alongside other galácticos.

It should be noted that in the post, the Spanish international, who was not included in the squad for the World Cup, made no reference whatsoever to Álvaro Arbeloa, the coach who is also set to leave Real Madrid. The matter further reinforces the friction between the two, which has grown in recent months and recently had another episode.

In the 2025/26 season for Real Madrid, Álvaro Carreras - valued at 60 million euros - made 40 official appearances: 28 in La Liga, nine in the Champions League, two in the Super Cup and one in the Copa del Rey. .
