Dani Carvajal was left furious at the news that he will miss Euro 2016 as a result of an injury picked up in the Champions League final.
The 24-year-old sustained a muscle injury in Real Madrid s clash with Atletico Madrid at San Siro and has been replaced by Hector Bellerin in Vicente del Bosque s Spain squad.
And the full-back admits that it feels as though his hard work to force his way into the national team reckoning has all been for nothing.
After the last call-up when I was left out, I worked a lot to be on the preliminary list, and now look. I ve got a lot of suppressed anger, he told Cadena COPE s El Partido de las 12.
You fight for two years to try to be in the group and I ve been let down by bad luck.
I spent two weeks with a little discomfort while preparing for the final, and in the first 15 minutes I noticed some pain. I kept going until the break and when the second half started, I couldn t any more.
At the time, the physios told me if you notice anything else, come off but they know that I d have to be really f***** not to play.
I had many feelings. I was so excited because I d given everything and was proud because I did everything possible to help the team, but I couldn t. be selfish.
Knowing that I d been booked, I was facing Yannick Carrasco and couldn t play at 100 per cent, I decided to ask to come off.
It was a disappointment and a little bittersweet for me, but at least the team won, and that s the most important thing.
