Lucas Vázquez: "It's a motivation that they don't give us as favorites in the Champions League"

MADRID, 10 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Real Madrid defender Lucas Vázquez made it clear that for the dressing room "it is one more motivation" that they are not placed this season among the favorites to win the Champions League, a title that he warns is not won "by luck or by chance".

"It doesn't bother us, for us it's one more motivation. Last year we weren't considered favorites and we got it, it's something that doesn't depend on us, it's up to us to do it well and try to win it," Lucas Vázquez said on Monday at the wheel. of press.

In this sense, he acknowledged that they are "hearing very often" that the best team does not always win the Champions League. "From our side we believe that winning the Champions League is not by luck or by chance, it is getting more and more difficult and getting so many is a source of pride for everyone, what they think outside does not matter much to us," he settled.

Regarding the visit to Shakhtar, the Galician indicated that "it is a very important step" for the Madrid team because if it wins it leaves "the classification practically on track". "This is something difficult to achieve. We are doing things very well and we are happy with the way the season is going," he stressed.

Lucas Vázquez confirmed that he is "well and with good feelings" from his latest injury and that "to this day" he already considers himself a "winger" rather than a midfielder. "I have adapted very well. I feel very comfortable and getting better and better, and enjoying football a lot in that position," he admitted.

For the madridista, "it is inevitable" that he will watch Sunday's Clasico despite having this match in Warsaw and that "everyone" has "in their sights such an important match" as the one that will measure them against FC Barcelona. "But we only focus on Shakhtar because it is a very important step towards qualifying for the next round," he pointed out.

Finally, he confessed that it would be "very difficult to live the situation" that Ukrainian soccer players are experiencing with the war and the latest bombings on kyiv. "We want everything to end as soon as possible and in the best way," he said.
