Euro 2016: 5 players who were lucky to make their national squads

4) Lucas Vazquez - Spain

Vazquez (R) was a surprise inclusion in the Spanish team

The 24-year-old Real Madrid product has had more than a decent season for Los Blancos but even he would have been surprised to find himself in Spain’s final 23.

Surpassing the likes of Fernando Torres; who’s just come off a great season with Atletico Madrid, Paco Alcacer, a consistent performer for the national team and Isco, his precociously talented Madrid teammate is something no one would have expected.

Vazquez has been taken to France for his versatility and will be delirious that he finds himself a part of the Spain camp. With 32 appearances in all competitions for a Real Madrid side that has a stunning array of talent, Vazquez certainly knows how to get in his manager’s good books.
