Real Madrid fans heaped praise on Lucas Vazquez following their 3-2 El Clasico win over Barcelona in La Liga on Sunday, April 21.
The versatile player, who operated as the right-back against Barca, did extremely well on the night, as he helped Los Blancos begin their comeback and eventually secure the win. After Andreas Christensen scored in the sixth minute, Vazquez got into the penalty area and was brought down by Barca's Pau Cubarsi, which handed them a penalty.
Vinicius Junior scored from 12 yards to level the scoreline in the 18th minute, but Barcelona regained the lead through Fermin Lopez in the 69th minute. Real Madrid retaliated just four minutes later through Lucas Vazquez. The Spaniard got on the end of a cross from Vinicius and buried his effort to put Madrid level again.
In the first minute of second-half stoppage time, Vazquez found Jude Bellingham inside the box, who sealed all three points for the Madridistas.
Fans heaped praise on Vazquez after the game. Here are some of their reactions:
"Big legend, very underrated. Give him a lifetime contract," said one fan.
"that vasquez guy moving like cafu," said another.
"ICE IN HIS VEINS," another exclaimed.
"Unreal workhorse. Never complains about playing time and always gives his 100%" a fan praised Vazquez.
"Renew his contract," demanded a fan.
"Lord Lucas Vasquez, may he be pleased," said another.

Frenkie de Jong injured in Barcelona loss to Real Madrid
Barca midfielder Frenkie de Jong suffered an ankle injury during the first-half stoppage time after a coming together with Federico Valverde.
The Dutchman was forced off the pitch on a stretcher, as he could not walk. While the extent of his injury isn't clear at the time, it's unlikely that De Jong will play for La Blaugrana again this season.
De Jong will be concerned about his fitness ahead of the Netherlands' journey at Euro 2024, in which he was expected to play a major role. With the competition just two months away, fans expressed concern about his fitness for the tournament.
