Real Madrid are angry but we'll achieve great things – Vazquez

Lucas Vazquez says Real Madrid are angry after failing to beat Villarreal on Thursday but insists their season can end with success.

Madrid looked to be heading for three points in their first La Liga match of 2019, with Raphael Varane and Karim Benzema putting them ahead at Estadio de la Ceramica after Santi Cazorla's fourth-minute opener.

However, Cazorla struck again with eight minutes of normal time remaining to ensure the game finished 2-2, meaning Santiago Solari's side could only close to within seven points of league leaders Barcelona.

Vazquez admits they are unhappy with the result but remains confident in their trophy chances, especially since they won the Club World Cup under two weeks ago.
