‘Rock bottom’—Dani Carvajal tears into Real Madrid after shock Copa del Rey exit

Real Madrid icon Dani Carvajal believes the club are at 'rock bottom' following their shock 3-2 Copa del Rey defeat to Albacete on Wednesday (January 14).

The Spanish giants parted ways with Xabi Alonso by ‘mutual consent’ following a disappointing start at the club.

Alonso’s former teammate Alvaro Arbeloa has since taken charge, but his first game didn’t go to plan, losing to LaLiga 2 side Albacete.

Speaking after the game, long-serving defender Carvajal, 34, didn’t hold back, saying: “We’ve hit rock bottom spectacularly.

“We have to face the music even when we lose, and that’s what we have to do now. We, the players, are ultimately responsible.

“We’ve been knocked out by a Segunda DivisiF3n team and congratulations to them. From tomorrow, we have to be self-critical individually and collectively.”
