La Liga 2016/17: Team of the season

Dani Carvajal (Right-back) – Real Madrid

One of the few players to have successfully made the transition from the youth team to the first team, Carvajal has slowly made the right back position his own at Los Blancos. Showing tremendous pace and fitness, Carvajal is never shy of going forward and provides Real Madrid with a good outlet on the right side flank while attacking.

One of Zidane’s most trusted players in this squad, Carvajal has time and again shown his worth in crunch situations. With Zidane giving his full-backs the license to send early crosses into the box, Carvajal has shown that he does not lack technical quality and skill and has created an incredible 35 goalscoring chances this season.

Although an injury ruled him out for the latter part of the season, Carvajal with his stunning and consistent performances has been miles ahead of the other right-backs in the League. In fact, the Spaniard’s performances have been so good that last year’s expensive summer signing Danilo has firmly become the second choice under Zidane.
