Eden Hazard's latest Real Madrid snub has come as a shock to many, especially considering his slight signs of improvement prior to the Copa del Rey defeat to Athletic Club.
Hazard, 31, had his future thrown up in the air during the January transfer window but a move failed to materialise, with Chelsea and Newcastle strongly linked with the Belgian.
The Blues legend appears to be enduring a frustrating period in his career, one littered with injuries and constant snubs from Zinedine Zidane and most recently Carlo Ancelotti, who didn't even consider bringing him on when his side needed to find the opener in Bilbao on Thursday night.
