During Real Madrid’s victory against Espanyol this Sunday evening in La Liga (0-2), a scene quickly ignited social networks around Álvaro Carreras. While Ferland Mendy was forced out due to injury, the staff called on Fran García to replace him, a choice visibly resented by the Spanish defender.
According to several images relayed live, Carreras would have shown a reaction of frustration when seeing his teammate come into play, an attitude interpreted as a sign of annoyance with his situation in the hierarchy. Already struggling in recent weeks in the rotation, the player would see his status decline, which fuels questions about his role within the Madrid squad and his current state of mind.
