Panic struck at the Santiago Bernabéu during the final moments of the match as Dani Carvajal attempted to clear the ball from Villarreal’s Yeremy Pino. His right leg tangled with Pino's, sending him crashing to the ground. Carvajal's agonizing scream quickly alerted his teammates, who urgently signaled for the medical team. The severity of the injury appeared obvious, especially as tears streamed down the face of the veteran full-back.

A heavy silence engulfed the stadium, which just last season witnessed three of its stars—Courtois, Militao, and Alaba—sidelined with serious knee injuries. As Carvajal, the team’s second captain and a club legend, was helped off the field, the crowd rose to their feet in a standing ovation to pay tribute.
