Real Madrid bids farewell to a key player.

Lucas Vazquez is one of Real Madrid's unsung heroes.

The Royal Spanish Club also immediately sent a message of gratitude and will hold a formal farewell ceremony at Valdebebas at 1 PM (local time) on July 17th.

Joining the Real Madrid academy in 2007, Vazquez gradually rose through the ranks, becoming part of the golden generation of Castilla alongside Dani Carvajal, Alvaro Morata, Jese, Nacho, Sarabia, and Joselu. After a season playing for Espanyol, he was bought back by Real Madrid for just 1 million euros in the summer of 2015 – a deal considered a great bargain for the club.

Since then, Vazquez has become an indispensable player under every manager. Rafa Benitez brought him back, while Zinedine Zidane transformed Vazquez into a silent trump card.

Vazquez's cool penalty kick in the 2016 Champions League final in Milan against Atletico Madrid cemented his name forever in the hearts of the Madrid fans.

The 2016/17 season marked the peak of Vazquez's form, as he played a pivotal role in the team's double win of La Liga and the Champions League. His speed, pressing ability, and accurate assists ensured he always made a difference whenever he was brought onto the field.

After Luka Modric, Lucas Vazquez is also leaving Real Madrid.

What makes Vazquez most valuable is not just his skill, but also his attitude. Whether he's a starter, a substitute, or just a tactical option, he's always ready and never complains.

Vazquez's professionalism, team spirit, and selfless playing style made him a role model in the dressing room throughout his more than 300 appearances for Real Madrid.

Wearing the Real Madrid jersey, Vazquez was part of the club's golden era, amassing a massive collection of titles: 5 Champions Leagues, 4 La Liga titles, 4 UEFA Super Cups, 4 Spanish Super Cups, 5 FIFA Club World Cups, and 1 Copa del Rey.

In his farewell video, he choked up and said, "I'm leaving Real Madrid, but Real Madrid will never leave me. Wherever I am, I'm proud to say that I once wore the jersey of the greatest team in the world ."
