Álvaro Carreras was one of the most commented absences in the latest starting eleven of Real Madrid, a decision that did not go unnoticed both inside and outside the white club.

The left-back started the game from the bench. He warmed up on the sidelines but did not get to play any minutes, a detail that fueled interpretations. It's hinted by the coaching staff that it could have been a simple rotation after a high load of matches, although the context invites us to look further.

Álvaro Carreras, Camavinga, and the competition in the left-back position

The benching of Álvaro Carreras coincided with the choice of Camavinga as a left-back, a resource that Álvaro Arbeloa is starting to establish. It's a solution seen before in previous stages of Real Madrid, although not everyone considers it ideal or sustainable in the medium term.

Camavinga has never hidden that he does not feel comfortable in that position. He accepted it at the time and continues to do so for the collective commitment. For Álvaro Arbeloa, however, his profile offers defensive guarantees and ball distribution, key aspects in high-demand matches.

The big loser is Álvaro Carreras, who had been one of the most consistent signings of the season in LaLiga.

External criticism and media bewilderment

The decision quickly sparked debate. The media environment questions how a player in good form can suddenly lose prominence. The focus is on the investment made in the left-back position and the sense of accumulating resources without a clear role.

Some analysts do not understand why, with specific full-backs on the squad, there is still a reliance on converted midfielders. The case of Álvaro Carreras exemplifies this contradiction. He has performed consistently, yet he sees his starting position threatened.

The sporting context of Real Madrid in LaLiga

Beyond specific names, the issue is structural. Real Madrid has been experiencing irregular dynamics in LaLiga for weeks. It's not just about occasional tactical decisions. The club acknowledges the need to adjust pieces for the upcoming season.

Some players are expected to depart, and others will arrive to refresh a squad that has lost fluidity and assertiveness.

Álvaro Arbeloa and the internal roadmap

Internally, it is emphasized that Álvaro Carreras is untouchable. The club fully trusts his growth and medium-term projection. The choice of Camavinga as a full-back is seen more as a temporary solution than a definitive change in hierarchies.

With Fran García having minimal weight in the plans and the maximum demands of LaLiga, Álvaro Arbeloa seeks alternatives without compromising competitiveness. The sense is that the debate will continue. What seems clear is that the club has no doubts about the player's potential.

The immediate future calls for firm decisions, but in Valdebebas, one thing is certain: Álvaro Carreras will continue to be a key piece of Real Madrid's project.
