Eden Hazard and Real Madrid seemed destined to be a match made in heaven when he completed his £150million move from Chelsea back in 2019.

In reality, three-and-a-half years later, the move was the start date of Hazard's decline in what has proven to be a disastrous deal for a player once regarded as one of the world's best.

The injury-ravaged Hazard has played just three league games this season, and is set to have another spell on the sidelines after suffering a knock to his left knee.

His latest setback is the 18th injury he has suffered since joining the Spanish giants and, to date, he has missed 75 games for Los Blancos in total.
