Lucas Vázquez spoke with Real Madrid TV to reflect on the team's hard-fought victory over Celta in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey. "We started well, going 2-0 up, but made things difficult for ourselves, which led to extra time. In extra time, the team showed its best version, and in the end, we won," he explained.

He praised the team's attacking transitions, saying, "Endrick was excellent in the minutes he played, and we managed to progress. The great goals we scored demonstrate the quality in this squad. There were changes in the team, and whoever comes on always performs."

Vázquez also highlighted the importance of the fans, adding, "Whenever we play in front of our supporters, it's an added bonus. They always push us and motivate us, and that connection with the team is crucial."

Lastly, he addressed the challenging match schedules: "We've mentioned this several times—the schedules are tough. We play 80-90% of our games at 9 p.m., then at 4:15 p.m., leaving little time for recovery. This needs to be looked at because we must take care of the players."
