Real Madrid straight back Dani Carvajal I believe there is no one better than him in his position in world football at the moment. The 32-year-old has expressed his desire to be named in the FIFA Best XI before the end of his career, and he certainly has a good shout this season.
Carvajal started the season playing high, getting to the touchline and also hitting with several goals. After the doubts about his fitness in recent years, it is undoubtedly his most consistent campaign in some time, and according to the player himself, his best.
“I think so, at the level of continuity, contribution and level, without a doubt,” said Carvajal Chain SER.
He was also asked if he was the best right in the world.
“Evaluating this last year, I think so, I still believe that for my confidence, I always tell myself that I am, if I don't, who will? But the numbers are there. It was a good year, winning the Champions League, even scoring, the league and now wanting to take Spain as far as possible in the Euro.
Certainly the goals at Euro 2012 and in the Champions League final have not hurt his visibility, and there is no doubt that he is in the conversation. Capable of causing problems going forward, few defenders bring the steely competitiveness that Carvajal has shown, and without his defensive abilities, his move to Manchester City and Bayern Munich would have been in doubt.
