Lucas Vázquez joined the Los Blancos' U-17 team on a free transfer in July 2007 and advanced through the U-18, U-19 levels before playing for Madrid Castilla in 2011.
The Spaniard was loaned to Espanyol in August 2014 and returned to Real Madrid in the summer of July 2015. After his return, Vázquez was subsequently promoted and registered as a first-team player in July 2015.
In the first team squad, Vázquez was one of the finest players on the right flank due to his versatility to feature in numerous positions. Even though he was primarily a right-back, he had the ability to feature as a right-winger and midfielder as well.
Known for his proficiency in creating goal-scoring opportunities from the right wing, Vazquez played a key role for the Los Blancos for several years. Notably, he contributed 38 goals and 73 assists in 402 appearances as a first-team player for the club.
Vazquez proved to be a reliable figure for Real Madrid in different editions of the UEFA Champions League as well. He won the Champions League five times. In 77 Champions League appearances, he contributed four goals and 12 assists.
Vazquez was also impactful in the league and won four LaLiga titles. In 310 LaLiga matches for Los Blancos and Espanyol, he scored 29 goals and delivered 56 assists.
