Real Madrid crashed out of the Champions League against Chelsea in the semi-finals last night and Eden Hazard‘s post-match reaction has caused a lot of controversies.
The Belgian was seen laughing with his former teammate Kurt Zouma after the game and the scenes have not gone down well amongst the Real Madrid fans and pundits.
El Chiringuito presenter Josep Pederol has claimed that Hazard is just another Gareth Bale who has failed to understand what it means to play for a club like Real Madrid.
Others are already calling for the player to be sold at the end of the season.
Gareth Bale failed to earn the love and respect of the fans during his time at Santiago Bernabeu and it has been a similar situation with Eden Hazard.
When Gareth Bale was dropped from the first-team squad, he was seen in the stands enjoying himself during Real Madrid matches and the media promoted the agenda that the Welshman does not care about his club.
They are following a similar narrative with the Belgian international now.
The Belgian’s time at the Spanish club has been plagued with injuries and he has been quite mediocre whenever he has played.
Hazard started against Chelsea last night and he was expected to drop a defining performance against his former side. Instead, the Belgian was quite disappointing and his reaction after the game infuriated the fans even further.
It will be interesting to see if Hazard can salvage his career at Santiago Bernabeu next season. Real Madrid paid top dollar for him and he has failed to justify his price tag so far.
