Carvajal: “We lacked hunger”

What has happened to Madrid?

In the last quarter of the field we were not fine, we lacked that hunger to go for balls that we could get. It is a tie that takes us away from the leadership. But there are five days left, to add the 15 points that remain and to see if we are champions.

Did you lack hunger to win?

It is a way of speaking, we have not been right on that point.

Is the team tired?

It is clear that the calendar is very demanding, the large number of casualties not only shows that the coach cannot count on everyone, but also that those who play do not rest.

Is it an important step back in the league?

I want to send a message of optimism, let's go for the 15 points that remain. It was an opportunity to sleep leaders and we have not taken advantage of it. An important and necessary opportunity is slipping away. We will fight it to the end.

At least you have been able to play a full game, at last.

It is being a season a bit strange and quite tough personally. But I feel pretty good. The other day I had a few minutes and today I was able to finish to get a feeling for that beautiful Champions semi-final.

Does this tie scare the team for Tuesday?

I don't think it influences, neither the good nor the bad. The team has given everything, it has not been possible to win. But we are among the four best in Europe, we will go all out to be among the two best. Looking forward to Tuesday.
