Another El Clásico is here, but Eden Hazard is not happy. He hasn’t played a minute against Barcelona yet
The football world is waiting for another El Clasico. In the course of one month, we will see three clashes between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Is there any chance that Eden Hazard will feel the atmosphere of this match first-hand?
The football world is waiting for another El Clasico. In the space of a month, we will see three clashes between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Is there any chance that Eden Hazard will feel the atmosphere of this match first-hand?
The Belgian footballer transferred to Real Madrid as a huge star and one of the best footballers on the planet. No wonder the transfer cost more than 115 million euros at the time.
The sad reality of his time in the Spanish capital is confirmed by the fact that Eden Hazard has not played a single official El Clasico since 2019. Worse still. Hazard didn’t even get a chance to feel the atmosphere of that game for one single minute.
In those four years, the two clubs have clashed nine times. Today we have another game and there is no sign of Hazard changing that fact.
Looking back, he had to miss both games due to injury during the first season.
The injury problem was repeated in the following season. During it, Real Madrid and Barcelona clashed twice again, but again without the presence of the Belgian footballer.
If Hazard was available, he simply didn’t get the confidence of the coach and the rest of the matches he sat only on the substitutes’ bench.
Eden Hazard is only last in Carlo Ancelotti’s hierarchy. This fact was proven recently in the match against Atlético Madrid. At a time when the Italian coach needed to revive the offensive, he sent on the young Álvaro Rodríguez.
It seems that the Belgian footballer’s days at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium are numbered and the Spanish big club will do everything it can in the summer to get rid of the financial burden of Hazard’s huge salary.
