The Belgian has endured a frustrating time since completing a big-money move from Chelsea to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer of 2019. He has rarely played, having been sidelined by niggling injuries.
However, Eden Hazard showed flashes of his best form when he was named in Madrid’s starting line-up against Huesca. Playing on the left-wing, the 29-year-old took the game to his opponents and crowned the day with a well-taken goal.
That goal was his first in over a year – Eden Hazard had not scored in 392 days. And it comes as a timely boost for Zinedine Zidane, whose other wingers have flattered to deceive this season.
Vinicius Junior has been out of his depths with his final decision-making still a matter of concern for the side. Meanwhile, Rodrygo and Marco Asensio have also failed to deliver consistent performances when given the chance.
Eden Hazard enjoyed a lively 20-minute cameo against Borussia Monchengladbach in Madrid’s midweek clash in the UEFA Champions League. Hazard’s latest performance against Huesca is indication that he is gradually getting back to full fitness.
For a player who has been blighted by injuries, his goal-scoring return also comes as a timely morale boost for the winger.
Manager Zinedine Zidane was also satisfied with Real Madrid’s victory and the performance of Eden Hazard and the entire team in their La Liga clash against SD Huesca.
With more games coming up and Real Madrid needing more attacking options, Eden Hazard could be a game-changer for Los Blancos as the season progresses.
