Supporters of La Liga giants Real Madrid have on Saturday evening continued to make their frustrations with one member of the club’s squad in particular crystal clear.
The individual in question? Lucas Vázquez.
Real Madrid are of course currently locked in action on the La Liga front, in a meeting with Rayo Vallecano.
The aforementioned Vázquez, for his part, was afforded his latest start in the clash, filling in at right-back once more amid the long-term absence of Dani Carvajal.
Safe to say, however, that things have not gone exactly according to plan for the Spaniard thus far at Vallecas…
The visitors currently find themselves locked on level terms with Rayo, at two goals apiece.
This, though, only comes owing to a rousing comeback, kicked into gear by Federico Valverde, and added to by Jude Bellingham on the stroke of half-time.
Prior to as much, a pair of defensive lapses cost Carlo Ancelotti’s troops dear, en route to a two-goal deficit.
And though no member of Real Madrid’s backline exactly covered themselves in glory in the build-up to Rayo’s goals, it is the aforementioned Lucas Vázquez who has been singled out for widespread blame.
Continuing to prove time and time again that he is simply not a defender, Vázquez has been targeted in ruthless fashion by supporters of the Spanish champions, who have collectively called for the 33-year-old to be dropped moving forward.
