Leganes 1-3 Real Madrid: 5 Talking Points

#3 Lucas Vazquez impresses again

Vazquez scored one and assisted one on the night

In the last two games, Marco Asensio has grabbed all the headlines for Real Madrid. His match-winning cameo against PSG followed by a brace against Betis has seen him deservedly be in the news. But in all this, one Madrid attacker has gone below the radar who has equally been impressive in recent weeks.

Lucas Vazquez has played brilliantly in February and has effectively kept Gareth Bale out of the team. He delivered two assists against Betis and was again on song against Leganes. With one goal and one assist, Vazquez was one of the best players for Real Madrid on the night.

The 26-year-old scored a fine equaliser, hitting a low first-time shot at the far post. His assist was also eye-catching as he played Casemiro on with a first touch to take two defenders out of the equation. Vazquez has now been involved in 10 goals in this calendar year in all competitions.
