Dani Carvajal happy with Real Madrid return

Dani Carvajal is delighted to have returned to Real Madrid this season.

The defender hasn't looked back since returning from Bayer Leverkusen.

Carvajal told UEFA's official website: "It was an interesting time, one of the most intense in my life, but I took the chance. It was an amazing experience in my development as a player.

"Playing football in a different country was a great opportunity and Leverkusen treated me well. It was wonderful."

"I knew Madrid could sign me again in three years' time, so I worked very hard, but it hadn't crossed my mind that they would come back in for me so soon."

"It was a dream come true when I found out, I was quite emotional. After spending a year away from my family, to get that news was special."
