Real Madrid have been knocked out of the Champions League, and for one player it could be his last game in the competition. Carlo Ancelotti's side were convincingly beaten by Arsenal in the quarter-finals, and a 2-1 defeat in the second leg on Wednesday meant they lost 5-1 on aggregate.

Lucas Vazquez was a surprise starter at the Santiago Bernabeu and, as quoted by Marca, gave his assessment of what went wrong for Real Madrid in the second leg.

"It was a difficult game, we didn't have all the chances we would have liked. We didn't lose face in the game, but there were a lot of interruptions and the balance wasn't on our side and we couldn't do what we wanted.

"We lacked more clarity with the ball and also a bit of patience when it came to moving the ball from side to side to penetrate a defence that was very organised. They came to defend, they didn't do anything in the first half and in the second half, with the team turned around, they were successful.

Lucas also backed Real Madrid to bounce back next season, but hinted that he might not be around to help.

"Just like when we win, we are all responsible when we lose. It's part of football, Real Madrid know that we always give our all, it can go well or badly, we always stand up for ourselves. We will come back stronger. Real Madrid will always come back and thank you for everything.

Lucas' future has been the subject of much speculation in recent months, particularly with Trent Alexander-Arnold expected to arrive from Liverpool this summer. His contract expires at the end of the season and it seems unlikely at this stage that he will be offered the chance to sign a new deal.
