Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid - 5 players who would be perfect for the other team

#2 Dani Carvajal

Dani Carvajal is considered the best at his position

Most people will agree that Dani Carvajal is the best right back in the world at the moment. Despite sitting on the sidelines for a while because of his heart condition, the 25-year old was able to overcome this threat and will be back to boost Real Madrid's ranks soon enough.

Carvajal is one of the most important cogs that help Real Madrid unlock defences thanks to his explosive runs, crosses, dribbles and shots. He ended last season with 10 assists in all competitions. Meanwhile, Juanfran is yet to deliver a single assist, or even find the net, after 10 appearances this season.

The fact that Juanfran is almost 33 certainly does not help his case. It is not like he is expected to improve when he is clearly moving towards the end of his career. Carvajal is already the much superior force going forward but they are also quite solid defensively, especially in one-on-one situations where he has to deal with wingers who rely on pace.

In addition to that, Carvajal is one of the most energetic and hard-working fullbacks right now. He is capable of maintaining the same level throughout 90 minutes, as well as throughout a whole season. Consistency is often a decisive factor when comparing two players who operate in the same position.
