L. Vazquezas: "Real" has a special connection with the Champions League

"Real" Madrid's player Lucas Vazquez is eagerly awaiting the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final and believes in his club's exceptional connection with this tournament. Zinedine Zidane's players are very close to reaching the UEFA Champions League final - in the first leg of the semi-final, "Atletico" was defeated 3-0. On Wednesday, the "royal" club only needs to withstand against "Rojiblanco" and enjoy another entry into the final. L. Vazquez is not mistaken about the exceptional connection of "Real" with the Champions League - the "whites" have triumphed in the tournament a total of 11 times, and this season the Spanish capital's team is seriously aiming for the 12th title. "Real has an exceptional connection with Europe and the Champions League," said L. Vazquez, who scored one of the winning penalties in last season's Champions League final. "During the Champions League matches, fans often experience something incredible - they create a unique atmosphere in the stadium. There's no better feeling than stepping onto the field under such an incredible atmosphere. Every match against "Atletico" is tough - they are a strong team with great players. However, we know how to beat them and will try to do it again on Wednesday. L. Vazquez also recalled his Champions League final from last season: "I try not to underestimate matches because it can affect your game, but this moment was special for me. When Zidane came to me and said that I would step onto the field, something really bad happened in my stomach (smiles)." This season, 25-year-old L. Vazquez, who plays in a forward position, played 47 matches for "Real", scored four goals, and made 14 assists.
