Although he showed some decent displays at the start of the season, he was quickly out of the team due to injuries.
Injuries are perhaps the major hindrance to Eden Hazard’s Real Madrid career. The former Chelsea man has been injured 15 times since joining the club in 2019. He’s missed a total of 69 games for the club through injuries and has been out for 455 days with injuries.
Unfortunately for Hazard, his form dipped after his return from injuries, and when it didn’t, he injured a game or two afterwards.
In fact, in his four years at the club, Hazard has never made an appearance against Barcelona.
The biggest winner from Hazard’s injury woes is Vini Jr. The young Brazilian was given the nod in Hazard’s absence, gathered enough first-team experience, and improved his skills.
He is the undisputed starter on the left of Real Madrid’s attack and has a dangerous partnership with Karim Benzema.
Finally, Hazard was under fire at the club after seen laughing with Kurt Zouma after Real Madrid’s semi-final loss to Chelsea in 2021. For fans, that was the last draw for a player who hasn’t shown a glimpse of what he could do at the club despite big money spent to bring him to the club.
Last season despite being available for most of the season, Hazard started only seven league games and was an unused substitution against Manchester City and Liverpool in the Champions League final.
Hazard’s failure at Real Madrid is down his own doing and a few misfortunes. He has been unable to show the quality he showed at Chelsea and will go down as one of the worst signings in Real Madrid’s history.
