His farewell was marked by an emotional tribute from former teammate and club legend, Sergio Ramos, highlighting the deep bonds forged over a decade.

Ramos's heartfelt message to Vázquez resonated with the sentiment of many within the Madridista family: "To my dear Luquita, a decade in the first team of the club you love... That's quite something, brother! You arrived as a kid and you leave married, with three children, and with 23 titles under your arm. But, above all, you leave behind a memory of hard work, discipline, constancy, generosity, camaraderie, and that joy in the dressing room that we all enjoyed so much. You are an example as a person and an athlete for all Madridistas."

Ramos, visibly moved, reminisced about their shared time, emphasizing the special connection they developed. "We were teammates, we were brothers, we were confidantes, and we never got tired of laughing, but above all, of winning together. Thank you for everything you have given to Real Madrid. Be proud, because it's incredible, and you know I sincerely wish you all the best for the future. You are loved and missed, my Pico. See you soon, friend," concluded the historic Real Madrid center-back, clearly saddened by the departure.
