Take it you watched Leverkusen week in week out to give that view that he's been 'one of the best RB's in Europe' this season?
Arbeloa has shown form in the best league in the world and for the national team, but this guy deserves to start before him according to some who've probably seen him less than five times this season!
Carvajal didn't even start regularly in the EL, seeing him for the Under 21s and games against Dortmund, Bayern etc he has not impressed me at all. He even got subbed early in games against Dortmund, Stuttgart because he was playing poorly and played average at best in other games where Leverkusen were conceding 2-3 goals.
There's a reason why Montoya is first choice at this tournament even with playing less games throughout the season, he's the better player.
I simply love it when some talk out of their ***
Let's see Carvajal started 31 games (and 1 from the bench ) out of total of 34 German league games that Leverkusen played
Subbed early against Dortmund ? they played twice he played the first game the full 90 minutes and subbed in the 75th minute in the second game(and probably because it was the 3rd game in the league and he just joined them )... so subbed early in which universe ?
Against Bayern Munich the Treble winner he played both games the 90 minutes
And i'm sorry if he was subbed early against 12th place Stuttgart in the first game in one of those RARE OCCASIONS while he played the full 90 minutes in the second Stuttgart game (do you really watch the league or just talking for the sake of talking )
AND LMAO at start regularly in the Europa league , would that mean Higuain is bad because Benzema start over him in the CL most of the time (except maybe this year Higuain got more run due to Benzema form ) ?? In Europe you chose what
So what does that make Arbeloa who didn't play plenty of times this season for technical reasons ? and guess what Arbeloa played 25 games in the league this season... Montoya played 11 games in the league (and 4 subs )
At the moment he is the best Spanish RB out there.. and had a season better than all Spanish RB .. the Don is right
