Football career

Barcelona

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Vázquez joined the youth system of FC Barcelona at the age of nine. He progressed through its ranks,[1] making his debut for the first team on 12 April 2008 after coming on as a substitute for Santiago Ezquerro in the final 15 minutes in a 2–2 La Liga away draw against Recreativo de Huelva.[2] Pep Guardiola called him for the team's pre-season in the following campaign, where he appeared in three official games, but none in the domestic league.

On 9 December 2008 Vázquez started and finished in the 2–3 home loss against FC Shakhtar Donetsk, in the last UEFA Champions League group stage match, but was again mainly registered with the B-team. On 8 February of the following year he suffered a serious knee injury in a game for the reserves, going on to miss the remainder of the season in Segunda División B.

Due to the lengthy calendar in 2009–10, many first-team players were given breaks towards the end of the year. Thus, on 29 December 2009, four Barça B players were called by Guardiola: Vázquez, Thiago Alcântara, Gai Assulin and Jonathan dos Santos.[3] All returned to the B-side the following month.

On 7 December 2010, after coming from the bench for fellow youth graduate Jeffrén Suárez, who suffered an early injury, Vázquez scored his first goal for Barcelona's first team, contributing to a 2–0 home win against FC Rubin Kazan for the Champions League group stage, as the Blaugrana had already secured the first place in their group.[4]

Club Brugge

In late April 2011, after 14 years with the same club (including youth years), Vázquez agreed to join Club Brugge KV,[5] and a three-year contract was signed the following month.[6][7] In March 2013 he extended his link until 2016, being considered a key player and essential to the further development of the squad according to sporting director Arnar Grétarsson.[8]

At the end of the 2014–15 season, after again being first-choice as his team won the regular season in the Belgian Pro League, eventually finishing second, Vázquez was voted the Belgian Professional Footballer of the Year.[9]

Cruz Azul

On 30 December 2015, Cruz Azul signed Vázquez to a three-year contract for $1.5 million.[10]
