Dani Carvajal attended the Madrid Sports Press Association gala on Monday, where he was honored for his accomplishments over the past year as a player for both Real Madrid and the Spanish national team. Reflecting on 2024, which Carvajal described as "very successful," he modestly stated that he didn’t do anything different from his usual routine: "I always try to give my all and go to bed as a better person, a better husband, a better father, a better brother." The Real Madrid full-back is currently recovering from a serious knee injury suffered in early October.

Discussing his recovery, the Spanish international shared that things are going well and that he is working hard to return to the field as soon as possible: "I feel like an animal. I’m doing great, my knee is cooperating, and I’m enjoying the process. It’s important to approach this with joy, enthusiasm, and lots of effort. Every day, I try to lift the weights with more energy than the day before, to run harder... I will return to my prime, I have no doubt."

Carvajal also expressed his eagerness to get back to playing, revealing how challenging it has been to be away from the game: "You can imagine how much I’m looking forward to it. You feel like a footballer when you're on the pitch, but I'm enjoying the recovery process, as hard as it is. It’s tough not playing, but I’m finding joy in spending time with my family, my kids, and doing the little things I don’t usually have time for because of all the matches."
