Other than one season long loan at Espanyol, Vazquez has been a familiar player at Real adapting from right back to wing back and was a player favoured by the recently departed Zinedine Zidane.<\/p>\n<h3>2020\/21 Season Ended With Injury<\/h3>\n<p>In 24 appearances for Los Blancos, Vazquez chipped in with six assists and two goals before a nasty knee injury in April ruined him out for the remainder of the season. He missed some crucial games in what was a disappointing season for Real.<\/p>\n<p>Real finished as runners up in La Liga and we\u2019re knock out of the Champions League at the semi final stage to eventual winners <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/06\/03\/michy-batshuayi-chelsea-departure-likely\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Chelsea<\/a> and Vazquez was missed in those games.<\/p>\n<p>Vazquez came through the youth teams at Real but had to wait until he was 24 to make his breakthrough in the senior team which came in 2015 and, since then, he has not looked back- going on to make nearly 250 appearances for the club.<\/p>\n<p>With Vazquez\u2019s future now sealed, attention will turn to whether <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/04\/01\/sergio-ramos-injury\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Sergio Ramos<\/a> will make his free transfer away from the cub that he has served so well for over 15 years. If Ramos does decide to leave, Carlo Ancelotti will have some job on his hands next season. He will be without the club\u2019s biggest leader for the first time in over a decade.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"6Cy7emZjQppziD81qYSDjw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1232266369\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'6Cy7emZjQppziD81qYSDjw',sig:'KYYmixK9YEGs5QoD9oykvwMjlD_v6HPbYN_6xseHPUg=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1232266369',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Real Madrid have confirmed via their official website that they have agreed an extension and new Lucas Vazquez Contract which will keep the player at the club until the end of June 2024.
