But I leave with peace of mind knowing I gave it my all. I've always been aware of the responsibility and privilege that comes with wearing this badge. I've enjoyed every match, training session, trip, and if there's one thing this journey has taught me, it's that no one should ever tell you that you can't achieve something," <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/real-madrid-star-bids-emotional-farewell-after-18-years-next-move-remains-unclear/bltdf14ca074c5ab202" target="_blank">Vazquez said in a video announcing his exit</a>.</p>
