Valencia 0-2 Real Madrid: It looks like the beginning of the end for furious veteran star

Real Madrid made it seven wins on the bounce in La Liga after beating Valencia 2-0 at the Mestalla on Sunday. Alvaro Carreras scored the opener after going on a daring run which brought back memories of Marcelo.

Kylian Mbappe's scinitillating goalscoring form continued when he sealed all three points in stoppage time. It was a much-needed win for Alvaro Arbeloa's men who moved back to within a point of leaders Barcelona.

While the mood was high following a victory against Los Che not all of Arbeloa's players were happy. Dani Carvajal was spotted in a heated exchange with fitness coach Antonio Pintus after he was left on the bench.

Valencia 0-2 Real Madrid: Carvajal explodes

A post-match video of Carvajal surfaced which shows the veteran Spanish right-back having to be calmed down by Pintus. This came after Arbeloa opted to bring Trent Alexander-Arnold on rather than turning to the 34-year-old.

Carvajal's future at Madrid is uncertain as his contract expires this summer and he has dealt with injury issues this season. He has been left on the bench in each of Los Blancos' last five La Liga games including Xabi Alonso's final league game in charge.

The Spaniard cut a frustrated figure on the bench when seeing Alexander-Arnold chosen to replace David Jimenez in the 76th minute. He has appeared just 10 times across competitions this season and there are doubts growing over him extending his stay at the Estadio Bernabeu.

Carvajal has been with Madrid since 2013 and become a club legend during his 13 years at the club. But a difficult season for the Spain international might result in his departure this summer.

Why it could be the end for Carvajal

Reports claim that Florentino Perez and the board are aware that "key decisions" need to be made at right-back this summer. That includes whether to extend Carvajal's contract or let their longest-serving player leave.

Carvajal has made 438 appearances at the Bernabeu and won every major trophy on offer including six Champions League trophies. If he were to leave it would likely mean Madrid enter the transfer market for a replacement especially with Alexander-Arnold only just returning from injury.

Reports claim that Chelsea's Malo Gusto is on the club's radar amid a fine spell at Stamford Bridge. The French defender has been handed regular game time but he is clearly second-choice behind Reece James at right-back.
