Lucas Vázquez says goodbye to Bernabéu, a finale worthy of his career at Madrid

Although his departure hasn't been confirmed, Lucas Vázquez also said goodbye to everyone at the Bernabéu

Real Madrid can already look ahead with their mind set on the next big goal: the Club World Cup. The white team closed a season marked by ups and downs with a victory against Real Sociedad.

On the Madridist side, the focus was clearly on the emotional farewells of two symbols: Carlo Ancelotti and Luka Modric. However, they weren't the only ones. Although there hasn't been official confirmation, everything points to Lucas Vázquez also having played his last match at Santiago Bernabéu.

Lucas Vázquez, another farewell that hurts

Although his departure hasn't been officially announced, everything indicates that Lucas Vázquez's cycle at Real Madrid has come to an end. The Galician footballer, after a stage full of successes and titles, has hinted at what many already suspected about his future.

While he will still play in the Club World Cup alongside Luka Modric, Lucas will not set foot on Santiago Bernabéu field again as a first-team player for the white team.

Silently and away from the spotlight, Lucas Vázquez experienced his last minutes as a Real Madrid player at Santiago Bernabéu. A essential part of the club's recent successes with 15 Champions in his record, the Galician preferred to keep in the shadows, knowing that other farewells were taking center stage.

However, as the match approached its conclusion, there was also room for him. Without speeches or spotlights, but with the silent recognition of a crowd that always valued his dedication and commitment. Lucas Vázquez's goodbye also hurt.

Bernabéu dedicated his moment

In the 75th minute, Carlo Ancelotti decided to substitute Lucas Vázquez. It was then that the stadium clearly expressed what it feels for a player who always gave his all. The culminating moment came as he left the field, one he had traversed so many times with dedication and commitment.

As the substitution board was raised, Santiago Bernabéu erupted in an impressive ovation, one that echoes and remains etched in memory. With permission from the farewells to Modrić and Ancelotti, Lucas's was one of the most heartfelt. The Galician couldn't help but get emotional as he embraced his teammates one by one.

A show of the affection and respect he has also earned for his immense human value within the locker room of Europe's most decorated club. Madridism will miss you, Lucas.
