Every beautiful story surely comes to an end. Today is the day when Lucas Vazquez officially leaves Real Madrid after 16 long years. Tomorrow, that is 17th July, there will be a farewell for the player from his club, Real Madrid. One thing is for sure: time flies by so quickly, and another legend leaves the club.
Lucas Vazquez has spent almost two decades with the club. During which the player has represented the club in more than 400 matches. He has given everything for the Real Madrid badge and helped the team in every possible way, both on and off the field. It is always the memories that make us remember the player, and he surely has a lot of moments in that white Real Madrid jersey.
Lucas Vazquez officially leaves Real Madrid after 16 years
It is fair to say that he arrived at Real Madrid as a boy and is leaving as one of the legends of the club. Lucas joined the academy of Real Madrid in 2007, where he played till 2010. Later, he was playing for the Real Madrid C team. The following year, Lucas Vazquez was promoted to the Real Madrid Castilla team. He spent three years with them and was later loaned out to Espanyol for one season. Since then, he has been a consistent player for the Real Madrid squad till the day he played his last game at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025.
One thing that defines Lucas Vazquez is his selflessness. He was a right winger when he started his career, but later, due to injuries to other players, he had to play right back. The guy has never complained and always gave his all for the club. He has played half of his career games out of position.

Lucas Vazquez emotional message to Real Madrid fans
Just a few moments ago, Lucas Vazquez, through his Instagram, posted an emotional video saying goodbye to all the fans. He said he is leaving Real Madrid, but Real Madrid will never leave him. Let us look at the whole message he gave through the video:
Dear Madridistas, it’s been almost two decades since I arrived at Valdebebas at 16 years old, full of dreams and excitement to wear this shirt. Every step was a gift and, over time, Madrid became my home. We have lived unforgettable nights, 23 titles, and moments that will always remain in my memory.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to the president, board, staff, coaches, teammates, and above all, the fans. You pushed me to always give a little more. Today, after more than 400 matches, it’s time to say goodbye to the club of my life, but I leave at peace, knowing I gave everything.
I have always been aware of the responsibility and privilege that comes with defending this badge. I have enjoyed every match, every training session, every trip… and if there’s one thing this journey has taught me, it’s that only you decide how far you can go.
I’m leaving Real Madrid, but Real Madrid will never leave me. Wherever I go, I will proudly say that I had the honor of playing for the best team in the world. Thank you for joining me on the most beautiful journey of my life.
Hala Madrid y nada mas!
