Although he arrived in Madrid with the difficult mission of succeeding Cristiano Ronaldo, Eden Hazard, former star of Chelsea and the Belgian selection, never really managed to establish himself in the long term at Real Madrid. Despite a record enriched with major titles, including the Champions League, he has never regained the level that was his in London.
In an interview given to Canal+he spoke candidly about his time in Spain and his regrets, particularly towards Zinédine Zidane, his coach at the time: “For me, Zizou was my idol when I was little. Working alongside him for two years was magnificent. Even if they weren’t my best years. I gave him a few good matches, but I didn’t give him enough.”confided the former captain of Belgium with sincerity.
