Karim Benzema sends message to departing Real Madrid star | OneFootball

Real Madrid legend Karim Benzema has late this week forwarded a social media message to former Blancos teammate Lucas Vázquez.

This, of course, comes after the latter bid an emotional farewell to the Spanish heavyweights on Thursday.

After spending the entirety of his career to date on the books of Real Madrid, versatile full-back Vázquez is now officially a free agent.

Following the signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold, those behind the scenes at the Santiago Bernabéu made the call not to offer the 34-year-old an extension to his expiring terms.

After Real Madrid held a farewell ceremony for Vázquez yesterday afternoon, messages of appreciation have since come flooding in for a loyal and always committed servant to the cause in Spain’s capital.

And as alluded to above, adding his name to this list of well wishers on Thursday evening was Blancos icon Karim Benzema.

Taking to his official Instagram account, frontman Benzema unveiled a photo of he and Vázquez on the pitch, accompanied by the caption:

‘@lucasvazquez91 Bravo’
