Real Madrid veteran vows to reclaim starting spot from Alexander-Arnold

The right-back position at Real Madrid has become a fierce battleground following the arrival of new signing Trent Alexander-Arnold, but veteran Dani Carvajal is proving he is not ready to concede his spot.

According to a report from the Spanish newspaper AS, Carvajal is determined to reclaim his place in the starting XI from the English international.

For much of the early campaign, Alexander-Arnold has held the edge in the pecking order, with coach Xabi Alonso often starting with the former Liverpool star.

However, Carvajal, who is still working his way back to top form after an extended absence, delivered a commanding performance in a recent match against Osasuna, reminding everyone of his enduring class.

During the Osasuna game, Alexander-Arnold appeared to struggle and was eventually substituted.

This opened the door for Carvajal, who made a significant impact in just a few minutes on the pitch.

The Spanish international was decisive, winning three duels, one more than his rival.

Carvajal now carries the added responsibility of leadership, and he is eager to reclaim a position he has held for nearly a decade.

His performance against Osasuna suggests he is ready to prove he still belongs in the starting lineup.

His experience, leadership, and fighting spirit make him a formidable contender, and he could play a key role as the season progresses.
