Lucas Vázquez won in the Intercontinental Cup final to claim his 23rd title as a Real Madrid player. Following the final whistle against Pachuca, he reflected: “We struggled a bit for the first 15 or 20 minutes, but then we got the goal to go 1-0 up. From then on, the team started playing better. The game started shifting our way, we created more chances and it's a well-deserved result."

“We had to make the most of the space in the centre of the park and Rodrygo moves really well in those areas. He encouraged me to push up a bit, and then the team started playing better, creating opportunities and we felt stronger.”

Vini Jr.
“We're happy for him. The Best is a deserved prize, he's been crowned the best player in the world and we love having him in our team."

Ancelotti
“He's always won things throughout his career, he's lifted so many trophies.”

A happy dressing room
“I'm really happy to help the team on the pitch and to be here at Real Madrid, sharing this with my teammates. We'll celebrate in the dressing room now."
