Real Madrid winger Lucas Vazquez full of pride over his campaign

Real Madrid winger Lucas Vazquez is full of pride over his campaign.

Vazquez is preparing for the Champions League final this week against Atletico Madrid.

"It's a source of pride and an honour to be representing the academy in a Champions League final. This is the top club competition and you've just got to reproduce the form you've shown during the rest of the year. The less you dwell on the important of the game, the less pressure you're putting yourself under," he said.

On working with coach Zinedine Zidane, Vazquez added: "It's a pleasure to work with Zidane. You watched him play since you were a kid and now you've got a coach who was a top player and a Ballon d'Or winner, it's incredible. He's a modern coach because his philosophy is all about ball work, whilst not neglecting the physical side of things, which is also necessary in football. He knows what players like and he want his players to enjoy the game just as he did, that's important"."
