Real Madrid got back to winning ways in LaLiga Santander against Valencia, even without Toni Kroos, Casemiro, Nacho or Marcelo.
Beyond the return of Isco, many cases are still open, such as Gareth Bale, but one major positive was the display of Dani Carvajal.
He is unique in world football and can decide games on his own, being involved in both goals as he provided the cross for Daniel Wass to convert into his own net and then being key in the build-up to Lucas Vazquez's strike.
Few full-backs have ever had as much of an impact as him, is Carvajal at his best even better than Dani Alves at his best?
