Real Madrid: Grading every player at the 2019-2020 mid-season point
Dani Carvajal: C+
Not his best season by far. Dani Carvajal is our best right-back and has the skillset to be one of the best in the world. However, he hasn’t always shown up to the games. The Spaniard has faced a lot of problems whether defensively or offensively and there have been many times where he found difficulty making simple passes. It has been a confusing season so far from him but he has shown us what he’s capable of and he has time to turn this season around.
Having come in at the beginning of the Julen Lopetegui era, a lot was expected from Odriozola. Even though he has put in some strong performances last season, this season has been a lot different for him. In his defense, he hasn’t been able to play as much as he would need to but whenever Zidane has called on him, the right-back was unable to impress. His speed and his vision when going forward are always an asset but his lack of defending ability whenever he has played this year has been extremely worrying. I don’t expect that he’ll be at the club for long unfortunately, given that Achraf Hakimi will probably be returning in the summer.
