On Wednesday, Real Madrid take on Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena in what could be a season-defining fixture for the team.
With the La Liga title seemingly out of reach, the UEFA Champions League remains the only avenue for Los Blancos to win a trophy.
However, they are not in a favourable position currently, after losing the first leg of their quarter-final tie 1-2 against Bayern Munich at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The fact that the Bavarians have been absolutely dominant at home makes things even more challenging for Alvaro Arbeloa & co.
Lucas Vazquez backs Real Madrid to mount a comeback
However, former Real Madrid defender and club legend Lucas Vazquez sees a comeback for the Merengues as very much possible, echoing his ex-teammate Toni Kroos’ opinion.

When asked about Real Madrid’s chances in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals during an interview on Radio Nacional de Espana (h/t Mundo Deportivo), he said:
“Madrid are capable of anything.”
Highlighting how Los Blancos ended the first leg strongly, Vazquez stated that the game could have easily finished 2-2 and that they are capable of pulling off a victory in Munich.
“We saw it in the first leg at the Bernabeu, Bayern played a great game, but nobody would have been surprised if it had ended 2-2,” the current Bayer Leverkusen ace remarked.
Continuing, he pointed out: “Madrid will have their chances in Munich. They’ll have their opportunities, they’ll try to take them, and from there they’ll have to withstand a Bayern side that has been putting on spectacular performances at home this season.
“They’re very reliable, but Madrid are always Madrid,” Vazquez concluded.
