Real Madrid has had a shaky start to the season, which has concerned some fans, despite winning all but two of their matches, both of which ended in draws. They managed to secure a win against Stuttgart in the Champions League, although their performance was inconsistent.
Lucas Vázquez had a disappointing outing in the last match, making errors that could have affected the team’s result. Nevertheless, Ancelotti continues to support him and plans to give him playing time in the upcoming matches to provide Carvajal with some rest.
According to Defensa Central, Ancelotti spoke to Vázquez at Valdebebas about his performance against Stuttgart, acknowledging it as a “bad day” that is now behind them. He understands that the team’s struggles are a collective issue, prompting him to work closely with the coaching staff to find effective solutions moving forward.
Lucas Vázquez is expected to play a vital role this season, especially with the busy schedule and the need to give Carvajal some rest for crucial matches. Carvajal’s importance to the national team means he will miss certain periods throughout the season.
Last season, Lucas earned a contract renewal due to his strong performances when called upon, leading the club to consider significant changes in the future. As he approaches his 34th birthday in July 2025, he has attracted several lucrative offers, which could raise the likelihood of his departure from the club.
