Thursday morning was marked by a very special event at Santiago Bernabéu. Lucas Vázquez said goodbye to the white fans after many years of dedication and commitment. It was an emotional farewell, full of memories and gratitude.
The event was attended by Florentino Pérez, the club's top officials, and the protagonist's family. It was an intimate ceremony, with speeches and many emotions. An image that sums up an entire career tied to the white crest.
However, what stood out the most was the emptiness in the guest stands. Only two first-team footballers attended the event. The rest, due to vacations or personal reasons, weren't present.
Lucas Vázquez, Real Madrid and an unexpectedly lonely farewell at Santiago Bernabéu
The Galician's speech moved everyone present with its simplicity and sincerity. "It's my turn to say goodbye, but I'm not going to say it," he began. He added: "To Real Madrid, my Real Madrid, I'll never say goodbye."
He recalled his beginnings, his dreams fulfilled, and the pride of defending the white jersey. He thanked everyone who accompanied him along the way. As always, he showed a humble attitude full of respect for the club's history.
But beyond his words, what sparked debate was the scarce representation from the locker room at his farewell. Only two teammates came to support him on his last day. It was a scene that even surprised those present.
Only two teammates present with him at such a special moment
The only ones who were with him were Andriy Lunin and Kylian Mbappé. Both wanted to show him their support at this important moment. Their gesture was highly appreciated by both Lucas and the fans.
It's true that many are on vacation and have only a few days of rest before preseason begins. Even so, the lack of more teammates at such an emotional event caused some sadness. It was an occasion that deserved greater support.
Lucas leaves through the front door, after years of quiet dedication and total commitment. He has always been an example both on and off the field. His farewell deserved a setting more supported by those who shared so many moments with him.
