Daniel "Dani" Carvajal Ramos (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈdanjel karβaˈxal ˈramos]; born 11 January 1992) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Real Madrid and Spain as a right back.
Having risen through the Real Madrid youth ranks, he spent a season with Bayer Leverkusen before breaking into the first team in 2013, going on to win various domestic and international honours.
At youth international level, Carvajal won the 2011 European Championship with the under-19 team and the 2013 edition with the under-21 side. He made his senior debut in 2014.
Carvajal was born in Leganés, a suburb of Madrid. He joined Real Madrid's youth system as a 10-year-old, and continued climbing through the ranks until reaching Real Madrid Castilla in 2010.
In his first season as a senior Carvajal was immediately cast in the reserve team's starting XI, also being the team's captain. In the following campaign, he fared even better (38 games and two goals, playoffs included), as the B's returned to Segunda División after a five-year absence.
