With Varane officially joining Manchester United, it turned out that he had been in Real Madrid for ten years, and it was the team star Zidane who recommended Varane to Real Madrid to start his Real Madrid journey, but with Zidane's second departure from the "Galaxy Fleet", Varane also decided to accept a new provocation to play in the Premier League.
In the 2011/12 season, Varane officially joined Real Madrid from Ligue 1 side Lens, wearing the number 19 shirt. There were Pepe, Raul Albiol and Mourinho 'love' Ricardo Carvalho in the squad, and Ramos also began to transform from right-back to center-back in the season, but Varane still got a lot of opportunities to play in this environment, in the fifth round of La Liga, away to Santander Athletic was given the opportunity to make his debut, and in the next game against Vallecano, he received a corner kick and crashed into the back foot, becoming the youngest foreign aid for Real Madrid to score. Varane was then given the opportunity to appear in the Champions League. This time, Varane helped Real Madrid break the points and score goals record to win the La Liga title.
In the 2012/13 season, Varane wore the No. 2 shirt, and with Ricardo Carvalho's seniority and Raul Albior not being trusted by Mourinho, Varane's chances to play increased, and he won the Spanish Super Cup at the beginning of the season. However, in this season, Real Madrid was greatly abandoned by Barcelona in the league, the Champions League results were not outstanding, and the "Mu Three Seasons" curse came again, mourinho and the main players such as Casillas and Pepe in the squad were not in harmony. Varane seized the opportunity to play the famous battle. In the first leg of the Copa del Rey final four against Barcelona, Varane partner Ricardo Carvalho played as a central defender, but due to the latter's frequent mistakes in the battle for a long time, Ricardo Carvalho once had the opportunity to face the empty goal due to a pass error in the back, but Varane stepped forward to "protect the empty goal", and then the match handed over a number of wonderful and key interceptions, including the "single knife" that chased after Fabregas, and also received Ozil's cross at the end of the game, and the head hammer was credited, for the team to draw 1-1 with Barcelona. The strong performance put Varane in the right place.
In the second leg of the Copa del Rey finals, Varane not only selected the team again, but also scored goals, assisting the team to eliminate Barcelona twice in total 4-2 and reach the copa del Rey final, regrettably missing the Copa del Rey final due to injury at the end of the season, Mourinho was forced to use Raul Albior as the main selection against Atletico Madrid, the result was that Falcao played Raul Albiol in the palm of his hand, Real Madrid finally won and lost, lost the championship, coupled with the same loss of the league, the Champions League, so that Mourinho ended in the era of Real Madrid, However, Varane can learn two seasons under the famous manager who attaches importance to defense, and can also seize the rare opportunity to make a splash on the field, becoming the cornerstone of Real Madrid's future defense.
As Mourinho's era came to an end, it was replaced by the Ancelotti era, but Ancelotti trusted Pepe's combination of centre-backs with Ramos, but Varane also became the undisputed third centre-back, often seizing the opportunity to play in the event of an injury to the main defender. In the Copa del Rey final, Varane came on as a substitute to help the team defend the victory, winning 2-1 against Barcelona, and Varane won the Copa del Rey for the first time, completing the honor of the domestic Grand Slam (La Liga, Copa del Rey, Spanish Super Cup). In the Champions League final of the "same city derby", he replaced the injured Pepe as the main selection, and Real Madrid finally won 4-1 at Atletico Madrid in extra time, and Varane became the European champion at the age of 21.
In the 2014/15 season, Varane first completed his first World Cup as a regular selection for france, and then won the European Super Cup and club world cup for Real Madrid as the third central defender, first completing the "Grand Slam" achievement at Real Madrid, and assisting the team to achieve a 22-game winning streak that broke the European record at that time. In the second half of the season, Real Madrid was affected by the "wave of injuries", including a pair of regular defenders Ramos and Pepe, which greatly increased Varane's playing time, but the performance was not outstanding, and it was constantly missed in the La Liga match against Atletico Madrid, resulting in a four-goal defeat for the team, and the Copa del Rey was eliminated by Atletico Madrid. At that time, the situation of Real Madrid weakened, Ancelotti took the side to reverse the decline of the team, let the center-back Ramos make a cameo at the back, and Varane naturally became the main defender combination with Pepe. The champions league quarter-finals of the second leg against Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid with this strange move to win, not only eliminated the opponent to enter the final four, but also won the first win of the eight games of the season at Atletico Madrid, in addition to Varane's high-speed promotion against Atletico Madrid has also become a good story. In the Champions League semi-finals two legs against Juventus, Ancelotti used three centre-backs, but unfortunately the two times combined to lose 2-3, and finally La Liga, copa del Rey, and the Champions League all ended without a title, and Ancelotti was also sacked.
In the 2015/16 season, Real Madrid officially entered the Zidane era after a short Period of Benitez, although Real Madrid chased down, La Liga still lost to Barcelona by one point, but the Champions League passed all the way to reach the final, and defeated the city's sworn rival Atletico Madrid in a penalty shootout to win the championship, which was the only time that Varane's four Champions League champions did not participate in the final.
It only took four seasons for Varane to prove his worth and strength to the outside world, becoming a reliable substitute for Ramos and Pepe, but Varane, who has become the main selection of the national team, has not been able to sit firmly in the main position of Real Madrid. Next time I know.
