“I have already started to play with the ball and I feel fantastic,” he told an audience at Francisco de Vitoria University, as quoted by Marca.
The 26-year old though is in no rush to push recovery and believes that could be risky.
“I have been without pain for days and I have my mind set on Kiev.
“I won’t take even the smallest risk.”
Jurgen Klopp‘s Liverpool will be Real’s opponents in the final as the Whites aim for a third consecutive European crown.
Mohamed Salah celebrates in Rome.
Carvajal though believes the Reds are not just a one-man team dependent on Mohamed Salah.
“No team reaches a Champions League final with only one player.
“They have done very well and their path has not been easy, they are there on their own merits and it will be a very exciting final.”
Zinedine Zidane‘s men will be bringing a 13th Champions League trophy to the club, if they manage to get past Liverpool and the Spaniard is proud to be part of Real’s recent successes.
“It is clear that this is a wonderful cycle for us,” said Carvajal.
“It isn’t easy to reach the final of the Champions League and it is clear that the club have been managed very well.
“We have had fantastic squads and we are in a winning team, hopefully claiming the 13th.”
