Hazard, the terrible announcement

With one year left on his contract, Eden Hazard has officially been released by Real Madrid.

Eden Hazard and Real Madrid, it’s over! The Spanish club announced on Saturday the departure of the Belgian international, one year from the end of his contract. “Real Madrid CF and Eden Hazard have reached an agreement for the player to be released from his contract with the club from June 30, 2023″indicates Real.

Eden Hazard has won eight titles with Madrid (a Champions League, a Club World Cup, a European Super Cup, two Spanish league titles, a Copa del Rey and two Spanish Super Cups) but his transfer will remain as a resounding flop.

Recruited for 115 million euros from Chelsea, and arrived in Madrid to be the new star of the Merengue attack after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, the Belgian, too often injured, did not even manage to establish himself as a starter. .

Its statistical record is terrible. In four seasons at Madrid, Eden Hazard has only played 76 matches, scoring seven goals and providing twelve assists. According to calculations by the Belgian press, the Red Devil has played only 3,736 minutes with Real, the equivalent of 41.5 matches in four years.
