Coming to the end of an era, Lucas Vazquez is bidding farewell to Real Madrid after an incredible 17-year journey with the Spanish giants. Joining the club in 2007 at the age of 16, Vazquez rose through the youth system, went on loan to Espanyol for a season, and made his Real Madrid first-team debut in 2015 and since then, he became a dependable presence in the squad, making 402 appearances and playing a crucial role in one of the club’s most successful periods.

Throughout his career at Madrid, the 33-year-old winger collected an astonishing 23 trophies, including 5 UEFA Champions League titles, 4 La Liga titles, 1 Copa del Rey, and multiple Super Cups and Club World Cups. Club president Florentino Perez praised him for his humility, work ethic, and embodiment of Real Madrid’s values. A farewell ceremony is set to be held at the Real Madrid City training facility, honouring his legacy and contribution.

As he prepares to leave Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid also moves forward, having signed defenders Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen. However, the club’s 2024-25 season ended without silverware, with Kylian Mbappe facing criticism despite finishing as La Liga's top scorer with 31 goals.
