Lucas Vazquez, a product of the Real Madrid academy, has already equalled Karim Benzema's totals for the season, having played a lot less time. In the last five games he has started, he has scored four goals and provided four assists.
It was Vazquez who scored the strike that levelled the match between Leganes and Real Madrid, after Leganes took a surprise 1-0 lead at Butarque. Not only is Vazquez extraordinarily productive in this current spell, but he has already come level with Karim Benzema for the entire season.
The Galician has four goals and assists in the last five games he has started, confirming that he deserves much more playing time that he is currently being given.
Vazquez has played a part in 16 goals for Real Madrid in only 1,662 minutes on the pitch, scoring seven goals against Leganes, Real Sociedad, Numancia (cup, 2), Borussia Dortmund, Fuenlabrada (cup) and Levante.
His nine assists have come against Barcelona (Super Cup), Sevilla, Al Jazira (Club World Cup), Deportivo, Leganes (cup), Real Sociedad, Betis (2), and again against Leganes, in Wednesday night's league game.
Benzema, on his part, has played almost 400 minutes more and has seven goals and four assists to his name.
