ARSIP - Real Madrid cut off the streak of defeats at El Clasico against Barcelona (Instagram/@realmadrid).

Real Madrid defender Alvaro Carreras said he was happy after scoring his debut goal when his team won 4-0 over Valencia in the Spanish League at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Madrid, Sunday morning WIB.

I've always said that you don't have to think about this (first goal), it will come by itself. I am grateful to have scored the first goal wearing this jersey and very happy," said Carreras as quoted from the club's official website, Sunday, November 2.

The 22-year-old said scoring as a defender was a special moment. He admits that he believes that sooner or later he will score goals thanks to the support of his colleagues at Real Madrid who have high quality.

"This goal is bound to happen and I'm not in a hurry for that. As a defensive player I know I have a different task, but when I can help the team, I will," said the Spaniard.

Despite scoring goals, Carreras emphasized that the team's victory remains a top priority.

"We know it's an important win. Our game is very good. A strong mentality by putting pressure on losing the ball and of course not conceding gave us victory," he said.

Carreras was recruited by Real Madrid from Benfica in the transfer market last summer. Previously, he had played Manchester United in the 2020 '2022 period. This season, Carreras has made 13 appearances and one goal with the Spanish capital team.

In the match against Valencia, apart from Carreras, another three Madrid goals were scored by Kylian Mbappe (two goals) and Jude Bellingham.

The victory made Real Madrid stronger at the top of the Spanish League standings with 30 points from 11 matches, the result of 10 wins and one defeat. Valencia is still stuck in 18th place with nine points from 11 matches.
