Mbappé's gesture to Lucas Vázquez during his farewell from Madrid wasn't seen live

This Thursday, Lucas Vázquez said goodbye to Real Madrid at an event organized at the club's Sports City. It was an event to show affection for one of the team's captains. He also came up through the youth academy and has represented the values of the badge throughout his career.

However, an incident occurred that has caused quite a stir on social media. He was only accompanied by two first-team teammates, which was not well received. Many believe that someone like Lucas should have been supported by everyone.

Lunin and Mbappé were the only Real Madrid players who attended the Galician's farewell. According to Marca and as Defensa Central has learned, they interrupted their vacations. Madridists are applauding this gesture and criticizing the rest of the squad for not doing the same.

Both showed that they have had a good relationship with Lucas Vázquez over the years. Mbappé's presence was especially notable, since he has only shared one season with him. Kylian remembered the first player who greeted him as soon as he arrived at Real Madrid

The importance of Lucas beyond the field

It is true that Lucas Vázquez has always shown himself to be a player willing to help the team. A winger converted to full-back due to the squad's problems, he never raised his voice. He did not earn a starting spot even with good performances on the field.

Lucas's importance goes beyond that, as he has been a key man in the locker room. Everyone remembers him for his ball tricks during the penalty shootout in Milan against Atlético. Calm and confident, he brought that to his teammates as a club man.

He was the one in charge of creating unity, the one who, even without the armband, was already one of the captains. The cohesion within the group was partly his doing, which is why he was so beloved. This contrasts with the absence of his teammates at the farewell event.
