On May 27, the Spanish national team announced the preliminary list of 29 players for the European Championship. Nacho, Carvajal and Joselu from Real Madrid were selected. However, Lucas Vazquez, who also plays for Real Madrid, was not called up by coach de la Fuente.

At right-back, De La Fuente opted for Carvajal and Keylor Navas. Carvajal's selection is no suspense, as the main force of Real Madrid, Carvajal is also the number one candidate on the right side of the national team. The 38-year-old Sevilla winger Keylor Navas is the oldest player in the national team, making 29 appearances in La Liga this season and providing two assists.

The 32-year-old Vázquez was not selected for the national team, which was a bit of a surprise.

In the 2023-24 season, Vázquez made 37 appearances for Real Madrid, with a total of 1,780 minutes, contributing three goals and eight assists. Vazquez was originally a winger, but he was transformed into a right-back and performed very well. At Real Madrid, Vazquez is not the absolute main force, but when he is required to carry heavy responsibilities, he never drops the chain. Low-key, big-hearted, hard-working, Vázquez is a trusted "role player".

Spain announced the squad, without Vázquez's name. On social platforms, Vázquez posted two "laughing and crying" emojis, both to express dissatisfaction and mockery.

Vázquez was quick to delete the tweet, though. Clearly, Vázquez didn't want to create buzz and controversy – a taunt that expressed dissatisfaction and implied disapproval of the other finalists. In other words, Vázquez's taunt could be interpreted as "Keylor Navas doesn't deserve to play in the European Championships".

The 32-year-old Vázquez has a fruitful 9 years at Real Madrid: 4 Champions League titles, 4 La Liga titles, 3 Club World Cup titles, 3 USPA Super Cups, 4 Spanish Super Cup titles, 1 Copa del Rey title, a total of 19 trophies. Both Carlo Ancelotti and Zinedine Zidane are very supportive of Vazquez.

However, Vázquez's international career has been bleak.

Vázquez made his international debut back in the summer of 2016 and has made just nine appearances for his country so far, the last of which was at the 2018 World Cup. In other words, in Spain's last three major tournaments - Euro 2020, World Cup 2022, and Euro 2024, Vazquez has not been able to participate. Judging from his resume, it is normal for Vazquez to fail to be selected for the national team.
