Carvajal: I have failed Real Madrid this season

Dani Carvajal has described his season as "a fail" and says all of his Real Madrid team-mates have fallen well short of their high standards.

Los Blancos are destined to finish the season in disappointing fashion after exiting the Champions League in the last 16 to Ajax and failing to keep up with the pace set by La Liga leaders Barcelona, who also dumped them out of the Copa del Rey.

Their season has been characterised by chaos in the dugout with the club burning through two head coaches – Julen Lopetegui and Santiago Solari – before Zinedine Zidane returned in March after resigning in the wake of leading the club to a third consecutive Champions League title in 2018.
