Real Madrid star Dani Carvajal picks out top three players he has shared a dressing room with
Real Madrid veteran Dani Carvajal has played with some of the finest to ever kick a ball, but did not hesitate when asked to name his top three.
Carvajal, 31, has five Champions Leagues to his name arriving right on time in order to enjoy their most successful era since the 1960s. That includes three Champions Leagues in a row, and two of them eight years apart.
Speaking on Universo Valdano, as carried by Marca, Carvajal picked out the three that had impacted him most.

“You see them arriving at 6 in the morning and starting to train… it’s brutal. Luka, on top of that, has been able to take such a small country to a World Cup final. He arrived here almost with lead feet and how he went about beating everyone is incredible.”
