Kylian Mbappé gives up his holidays. After several weeks in the United States for the Club World Cup, concluded by the defeat of Real Madrid against PSG in the semi-finals, the Captain of the Blues chose to return to Paris to take advantage of his family and find his brother.
However, the striker interrupted his summer rest to return to Madrid and attend the farewells of Lucas Vazquez, a strong gesture that does not go unnoticed. On Thursday, the Spanish winger was honored during a moving ceremony at the Valdebebas training center, marking the end of an important page in Real Madrid.
Only two players made the trip
Only two club players interrupted their summer break to be present: Kylian Mbappé and the Ukrainian Andriy Lunin. Brazilian Marcelo, former Vazquez teammate, was also there, as Marca reports.
Trained at the club, who arrived in 2007, Vazquez made his debut in 2015 and left Real ten years later, rich in 23 titles including 5 Champions Leagues and 4 Liga titles. In a farewell video, he said: “Each stage of the path was a gift and, over time, Madrid has become my house … I leave my mind, knowing that I gave everything there. »»
This departure echoes that of Luka Modric, another Merengue legend, who also played his last meeting during the recent world club before spinning new horizons at AC Milan. This Thursday, however, Lucas Vazquez received an official tribute, welcoming an exemplary career in the white jersey.
