The last Classic, played on October 24, 2020, was very special for Luke Vazquez. The Galician started on the bench that duel that he Madrid took 1-3. However, just before the break, he had to replace Nacho, with physical discomfort. Lucas had to delay his usual position and occupy the right-hand side, a less common one for him but one that he already knew from having covered it during other stages of his career. What looked like a Zidane patch became a fully guaranteed solution. An exceptional game came together, drying both Coutinho like Jordi Sunrise.
Since that meeting Lucas's career has changed. It has become a multipurpose device capable of occupying both the side and the end, as well as being very useful as a lane. The continuing physical problems of Carvajal They have forced Zidane to use him a lot as a defender on the right, and the youth squad has not disappointed. This season has already 19 matches at the position. He is one of the footballers most used by the coach (2,737 minutes of play) and has contributed two goals and seven assists.
It should be remembered that Zidane already used him as a winger last season, but only in four games and during the final stretch, also due to Carvajal's injury. Nevertheless, it has been in this when he has settled into the position.
One of the best seasons of his career that may be the last at Madrid. The renewal offer that the club has made him does not convince the footballer, who ends his contract in June. Everything indicates that the parties will not reach an agreement and a new team will have to be found. He has no shortage of suitors, but the one with the most advanced hiring at Bayern Munich that already negotiates with its environment. Tomorrow he could be playing his last Classic.
