Dani Carvajal received one of the highest honors from his home region as Isabel Díaz Ayuso, President of the Community of Madrid, presented him with the Gold Medal in recognition of his exceptional football career and enduring commitment to excellence.

The ceremony took place at the historic Royal House of the Post Office in Madrid, where Carvajal—born in Leganés and a symbol of Real Madrid’s success—was celebrated for his professionalism, humility, and contribution to Spanish sport.

President Ayuso praised Carvajal not only for his titles but also for the values he represents: "Discipline, humility, and effort—he is a role model for all." However, it was one particular remark that drew considerable public attention.

Referencing the right-back’s six UEFA Champions League trophies, Ayuso made a pointed comparison: "Carvajal has more Champions than Barcelona in their entire history. Just putting it out there."

The comment sparked waves of reaction across social media and sports media, with fans and pundits interpreting it as a bold jab at Real Madrid's historic rivals.
