The poor performance against Barcelona has put a beloved Real Madrid player in a difficult position, as it has become clear that his level is far from the standard required to continue at the club.
The heavy defeat suffered by Real Madrid on Sunday against Barcelona (2-5) in the Spanish Super Cup final could have direct consequences.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper “Defensa Central,” Real Madrid, who had already set priorities to strengthen the team for the next season, now face an urgent need to reinforce some positions, particularly the right-back position, especially after the clear difficulties in this area against Barcelona.
Lucas Vazquez, who has had recurring defensive problems, has become a noticeable weakness, especially in difficult matches, where he visibly struggles.
Despite Real Madrid’s great respect for Vazquez, he has once again proven that his level in big matches is not up to expectations for this position. It should be noted that Vazquez’s primary role is not right-back, but winger, but circumstances have forced him to play this position.
With injuries to Eder Militao, and Jacobo Ramon and Juan Martinez suffering similar setbacks, the defense is severely lacking. David Alaba has also yet to return from his cruciate ligament injury. As for Vazquez, his contract is set to expire in June, making it difficult for him to renew, especially after his recent performances, where he was once again caught up in the scenes of Barcelona’s goals, making it hard for him to overcome this image in the minds of the fans.
