"When I heard a ‘clack’, I knew something had happened" - Pino on Carvajal knee surgery

Yeremy Pino has injured 3 players in recent months, 2 of them in just a couple of weeks. The Villarreal player was the unwitting protagonist of Dani Carvajal's serious knee injury.
Pino spoke to ‘El Desmarque’ about the unfortunate action that has left the Real Madrid full-back sidelined for the entire 2024-25 season. Carvajal suffers a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament, another ruptured external collateral ligament and another ruptured popliteal tendon in his right leg.
"The action is complicated. I try to touch the ball as little as possible to get it out. You're losing, I'm a footballer and I don't want to lose. I don't think I touch it, but in the end he kicks, it hits me... and in the end it's fortuitous," said the Spain international.
Bellingham, after the action, confronted Yeremy Pino himself, who already knows what it's like to suffer a torn cruciate ligament. It's a shame, to be honest. The moment he was in, how important he is for us in the national team and for Madrid... He's an example for Spanish football and he's a very important player. For Spanish football he is an example and it's difficult to see how he suffered on the pitch because I've also experienced it, and it's complicated".
Yeremy Pino immediately realised the gravity of the situation. "When I fell... He kicked me and it hurt, but when I heard him I knew something had happened. When he said the knee... you know it. You feel the ‘clack’. Then my head started spinning again with the ghosts of the past. You try to avoid it a bit, but it's difficult.
