Eden Hazard laughs to tears after Real Madrid elimination sparks outrage

There are behaviors and moods that are sometimes best not to show especially when you are knocked out of the Champions League. Even more at Real Madrid. After the defeat of Real this Wednesday on the lawn of Chelsea in the semi-final of the C1 (2-0), the image of Eden Hazard, hilarious, caused a real outcry in Spain. Just after the final whistle, the Belgian winger went to greet some of his former London teammates when he had left the Blues in the summer of 2019. The greetings with Kurt Zouma were more than warm. We can see the French and the Belgian bursting into laughter while hugging each other.

A joie de vivre that has had the gift of provoking the ire of supporters and the Spanish press.

The Iberian media are quick to criticize the most expensive player in the history of Real (between 115 and 160 million euros), whose performance has been disappointing for two years.

“This boy didn't understand what Madrid was.

The renewal must go through its immediate sale.

Goodbye Eden ”, writes the Madrid daily

“His behavior is unacceptable.

He has been in Madrid for two years, two years since he has been making fun of socios.

They expected so much from him ”, asserts, not without a certain dramaturgy, Josep Pedrerol, the presenter of the famous program“ El Chiringuito ”.

According to him, the Belgian should no longer wear the merengue jersey "one second longer".

"¡¡HAZARD NO puede SEGUIR ni un SEGUNDO MÁS en el R. MADRID !!"

, a Catalan daily, compares Hazard's status to that of Gareth Bale, the previous most expensive player in the White House: "The one who was the most expensive signing in the history of Real Madrid is about to become the new one. Bale.

With the difference that the Welshman offered a few evenings of glory as in the 2014 Copa del Rey final against Barça or in the 2019 Champions League final against Liverpool, in which he scored a brace.

Hazard's case is even more extreme, because he brought nothing sporting [...] and lacked respect to the club and its supporters ”.

Harsh words but which divert the debate concerning the bland face that Real Madrid offered on Wednesday.
