Real Madrid's Spanish captain Dani Carvajal praised his compatriot, Barcelona's star Lamine Yamal, saying: "Lamine is a great young player, but I don't wish him luck in the final." When asked about his past criticisms of him, Carvajal told reporters: "You never forget anything, do you? Lamine was young and not on the right path, and I criticized him. Everyone tries to defend their interests, and he, as it turns out, is a great player." Regarding his contract expiring in June, Carvajal said: "I have recovered from an injury and surgery." On the incident between Atletico Madrid's coach Simeone and Brazilian player Vinicius, Carvajal said: "We respect each other, and each of us defends our club to the death. I conveyed my opinion to him, and he conveyed his to me, and we left the matter at that because we are focused on winning another title."
