One wasted opportunity, one more.
Debauched at a gold price from Chelsea in the summer of 2019 to replace CR7, Eden Hazard was finally on the attack for an important Real Madrid match.
But the Belgian did not see a ball on Wednesday in the semi-final second leg of C1, while Zizou left it on the pitch almost to the end.
A short laugh that goes wrong
However, more than his insipid performance, it was above all his apparent detachment at the final whistle that struck the supporters and the Madrid media, who had nothing but that in their mouths all evening, almost forgetting the elimination. .
Hazard was indeed filmed by the cameras exploding with laughter after an exchange with his teammate Kurt Zouma on the ground, one more awkwardness considering the Belgian's liabilities since he arrived in Spain, while he would have been much easier to do that in the locker room out of sight.

In short, this is not going to raise its rating in Madrid, while several influential journalists in the Madrid football debate almost asked for his head hot.
Only Zidane did not disassemble at a press conference, saying he would continue to field Eden Hazard "so that the latter recovers confidence", even as Real play the La Liga title in the last four games.
We know one who has an interest in being decisive in the next two or three weeks.
