Real Madrid fullback Dani Carvajal denies Isco rejected the captain's armband during the Champions League defeat to CSKA Moscow.

Speaking post-match on Wednesday, Marcelo had revealed that Isco - who was whistled by a section of the Bernabéu after seemingly confronting the unhappy home crowd during the 3-0 loss - rejected the armband when the Brazilian tried to hand it to him, despite being the longest-serving Madrid player left on the field.

However, Carvajal told Real Madrid TV on Thursday: "I feel very proud and honoured to have worn the armband in a competitive match. I'd like to thank Isco, because by rights he should have had it, as he signed for the club a few days before me.

"He wore it against Melilla [in the Copa del Rey last week], and he said to me then that next time, if the circumstance came about again, he would let me have it. I'm grateful to him for that, because it was a really nice gesture."

In an interview with the La Sexta, Carvajal added: "He [Marcelo] didn't know about it; [...] that's all there was to it."
