Lucas Vazquez knocks on Lopetegui's door LaLiga - Real Madrid His current form could take him to Russia

Real Madrid's recent revival has a lot to do with Lucas Vazquez's continued run in the side and the 26-year-old's performances could earn him a seat on the plane to Russia.

Even though he has only played 15 minutes so far for Julen Lopetegui since the Basque took over as Spain coach, Lucas Vazquez's form cannot be ignored for much longer.

Lopetegui was at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday night to witness the Galician winger's assist for Cristiano Ronaldo's opener, his 13th of the season, including penalties won.

The Real Madrid No.17, who has also scored seven goals, is competing with the likes of Pablo Sarabia, Suso, Vitolo, Pedro and Jose Callejon for a call-up this summer, but he has a right to be confident, even if he won't show it.

"I hope that Lopetegui calls me," the player has said when asked about his chance of going to the World Cup.

"Of course I would like to go to Russia."

For now, what matters is that Zinedine Zidane is trusting in him and the Frenchman took the time to give Lucas Vazquez a special congratulations after full-time on Tuesday.
