Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal has admitted that he is desperate to win La Liga.

Since returning to Los Blancos from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2013, Carvajal has won two Champions League titles, two UEFA Super Cups, one Club World Cup and one Copa del Rey title.

However, the Spain international is 'hopeful' that he can add La Liga to his collection as Real Madrid look to wrest the title away from Barcelona this season.

"It's not a bad haul! I hope to add to it. I've played in three Champions Leagues and won two of them," the 24-year-old told Marca. "I would be thrilled to win La Liga because I've never won it.

"It's a reward for playing consistently all season. It would be special to add the league and Supercopa de Espana to my title collection. It seems easy but it's anything but. There are many great players from the history of football that don't even have one."

Carvajal is currently with the Spain squad preparing for Monday's 2018 World Cup qualifier against Liechtenstein.
