Rafael Martín Vázquez (born September 25, 1965 in Aluche , Madrid ) is a former Spanish football player .

Career

For the first time, the tech-savvy midfielder drew attention to himself in Real Madrid's second team Castilla CF. As a member of the legendary Quinta del Buitre , an outstanding talent year in Real Madrid's offspring, which also included Emilio Butragueño , Míchel , Manolo Sanchís and Miguel Pardeza , he made the first squad. Martín Vázquez played for Real Madrid from 1983 to 1990 and from 1992 to 1995 and scored 42 goals in 252 top division games. He also played 39 cup games (3 goals) and 44 European cup games (2 goals) for the royal team . He won the UEFA Cup with Real in 1984/85 and 1985/86 and the Spanish championship five times in a row from 1986 to 1990 in the Primera División .

Between 1990 and 1992 he played two seasons in Italy with Torino Calcio . After his time at Real Madrid, he let his career end with Deportivo La Coruña , Celaya FC and Karlsruher SC in the 1998/99 season in the 2nd Bundesliga .

At KSC he was presented as a replacement for playmaker Thomas Häßler , who had left the club after relegation in the previous season. According to media reports, he received a contract worth 3 million marks per year and should help the club to regain its position. At the start of the season, however, the KSC lost five of the first six league games and Martín Vázquez came into the crossfire of criticism. His greatest advocate, coach Jörg Berger , was sacked after the 12th match day. As a result, his contract was terminated after only four months and five missions. He then ended his career.

For the national team he was in action at the European Championships in 1988 and the 1990 World Cup . Coach Miguel Muñoz used him at the 1988 European Championship in Germany in three group matches against Denmark, Italy and Germany. Two years later, at the World Cup in Italy, he was part of the regular line-up of coach Luis Suárez , who achieved first place in Group E against Uruguay, South Korea and Belgium. In the round of 16, Spain lost 2-1 goals after extra time against Yugoslavia and was eliminated from the tournament. Overall, he scored one goal in 38 international matches.
