"It is my dream since I was a kid... I was dreaming about this club."
Those were the words of Eden Hazard in October 2018, when he was asked about the possibility of joining Real Madrid. At the time, the Belgium international was at the peak of his powers and torn between signing a new deal at Chelsea or heading to Spain.
He chose the latter the following June, but that childhood dream quickly turned into a grown-up nightmare. Hazard ditched his cosy London romcom for an ongoing Madrid horror, with no safe haven in sight. Only time will tell how his footballing story ends.
