Impact Carvajal made an immediate impact in his Getafe debut, earning a place in the starting lineup just days after completing his move as a free agent following his departure from Real Madrid at the end of last season. The experienced right-back delivered a solid defensive performance, contributing two interceptions, one clearance, one block and a successful tackle before being substituted in the 80th minute. His inclusion in the starting XI confirms that coach Jose Bordalas considers him physically ready to contribute despite his limited time with the squad. Carvajal brings considerable experience to Getafe's back line and should be a strong candidate to retain the starting right-back role moving forward, although he will face competition as he continues adapting to his new surroundings.
