Chelsea icon Eden Hazard has had his Real Madrid revival explained via a key 'physical' aspect as Karim Benzema comparison made.
Hazard has had a torrid time since completing his £100million move to Spain from West London in the summer of 2019. Whether it's injury or just personal issues with the likes of Carlo Ancelotti, the Belgian international has not played as big of a role in Los Blancos' recent successes. Whether that be last season's UEFA Champions League win or La Liga success, Hazard, just like Gareth Bale, has been on the periphery and an exit for the pair seemed imminent last season and during the most recent summer transfer window.
Bale joined LA FC in January 2022 whilst Real Madrid's number 7 stayed put amid fleeting interest from the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, Newcastle and Lille, respectively. Patience has paid off, though, in the end for the 31-year-old who has started to get the rub of the green in recent times with more minutes being offered his way by Ancelotti.
