Eden Hazard’s Real Madrid Exit: Absence from Iconic Spanish Fixture Marks End of His Stay

Real Madrid made an official announcement on Saturday, confirming that Eden Hazard will depart from the club following their final match of the season against Athletic Club on Sunday. Although Hazard’s contract was initially set to expire at the end of the following season, both parties have reached an agreement to terminate his stay in the Spanish capital one year ahead of schedule.

Hazard’s tenure at Real Madrid has been a major disappointment. When he arrived from Chelsea in 2019, he was regarded as one of the best players in the world. However, he failed to come close to reaching those levels during his time with Los Blancos. His underwhelming performance is exemplified by the fact that he never had the opportunity to step onto the field in any competitive El Clasico fixtures throughout his four-year spell. Barcelona and Real Madrid have faced each other 12 times since Hazard’s arrival in 2019, yet he was absent from all of these encounters. This was primarily due to a combination of injuries and being overlooked by the coaching staff.

The future destination of Hazard remains uncertain at this point. There have been discussions about the possibility of him retiring, although it would be disappointing if Real Madrid ended up being his final club, especially considering he is only 32 years old. Fans and observers eagerly await news regarding Hazard’s next move, as he still possesses the potential to make a significant impact on the footballing stage.
