Per Realmadrid.com
Real Madrid C.F. would like to announce that tomorrow, Thursday 17 July, at 1:00pm CEST, an institutional act of homage and farewell to our player Lucas Vázquez will be held at Real Madrid City, in the presence of our president Florentino Pérez.
Real Madrid would like to express our gratitude and affection to Lucas Vázquez, one of the great
legends of our club.
Lucas Vázquez arrived at Real Madrid in 2007, at the age of 16, and played in all the categories of our youth academy from Under-17s to Castilla. After a season on loan at Espanyol, he made his debut with the Real Madrid first team in September 2015. Since then, he has defended our shirt in 402 games over 10 seasons, in one of the most successful periods in the history of Real Madrid. Throughout this time, he has won 23 titles: 5 European Cups, 5 Club World Cups, 4 European Super Cups, 4 Leagues, 1 Copa del Rey, and 4 Spanish Super Cups.
For the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez, “Lucas Vázquez represents in an exemplary way the values of Real Madrid, which has made him one of the most loved players by our fans. The figure of Lucas Vázquez symbolises the hard work, perseverance, humility, and winning spirit that are essential for success in this shirt. He is a player who has the affection and recognition of all madridistas. Real Madrid is and always will be his home.”
Real Madrid wishes him and his family the best of luck in this new stage of his life.
It’s still unclear if Vazquez will sign for another club or if he will retire, but it’s certain that he has been a key contributor this past decade and one of the successful stories coming out of La Fabrica.
