Lucas Vázquez has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to solve complicated situations. Once again he surprised us with an impressive performance: a header from a corner in stoppage time that gave Real Madrid three crucial points and the lead at the end of the year.
His first big test came in 2015 when he returned to Real Madrid. At that point the door to the first team seemed closed to him, but a timely move from his agent Ginés Carvajal opened up the possibility of his return after an outstanding season with Espanyol. The Real Madrid board did not hesitate and Lucas returned home.
Over time, he found his place in the team led by Zinedine Zidane and played as a full-back. His response was exemplary and deserved a renewal that seemed unlikely at the time. This season he has once again demonstrated his ability to overcome challenges, even if his place in the team was in doubt due to the presence of Dani Carvajal as a starter.
Lucas Vázquez has proven resilient in the face of adversity, as shown in a game against Sporting de Braga where he took an early penalty. However, he raised his head and demonstrated his ability to improve and became one of the best in the game.
Carvajal’s injury gave him the continuity he was looking for and his contribution was crucial, as seen in the game against Alavés, where he scored with a header from a corner in the six-yard box. Ancelotti values his ability to surprise as a full-back and his importance in the dressing room.
It shows that it can still matter
According to the newspaper Marca, despite the fact that his contract with Real Madrid expires on June 30, Lucas Vázquez does not despair and continues to show his worth on the field. His future at the club seems uncertain, but his determination and performance in recent games are solid arguments for him to continue with the team.
Although no contractual steps have been taken yet, Madrid officials are confident in the presence of Carvajal and Lucas Vázquez. Additionally, Real Madrid’s youth academy has promising players who could take their place in the future.
