Eden Hazard has admitted that his relationship with Carlo Ancelotti has broken down and that he no longer talks to the Real Madrid manager, on the eve of the La Liga giants’ Champions League clash with Liverpool.
The Belgian left Chelsea for the Spanish outfit back in 2019, moving to the Bernabeu for an initial £88.5m in a deal which could have risen to up to £150m. But while he has won two La Liga titles and the Champions League with Madrid, the 32-year-old’s time with the club has not been successful.
Boasting just seven appearances this season, Hazard's only appearance since the 2022 World Cup came in Madrid's narrow 1-0 win over fourth-tier side CP Cacereno in the Copa del Rey at the start of January. Meanwhile, he hasn't featured in La Liga since September and has recorded just 98 minutes of league action this season.
