Eden Hazard had always been way ahead of his counterparts in terms of his own version of game-tackling abilities. This professional Belgian footballer had been eulogized for his performances. However, upon joining Real Madrid, his luck didn’t favor him and he ended up facing termination.
So, let’s explore the full story behind the footballer’s unfortunate event.
Injury woes of Belgium star at Real Madrid
In 2019, there was an announcement from the authority of Madrid for shaking hands with the Belgian star in a contract of €100 million. Proving that to be true, Eden signed with the club for a deal until the 2024 season. Upon signing he became one of the most expensive contract holders within the club.

However, he failed to make any significant progress with the team over four years and found a place among the Real Madrid flop bargains. So, at this point, over a discussion between Eden and the club, his contract was withdrawn in the 2022-23 season.
Injuries are one of the prime reasons behind the Chelsea star’s poor performance in Madrid. In his first season with the club, he encountered an ankle injury for which he underwent major surgery. This had an immense effect on his performance even after his recovery.
Eden Hazard: Major Fitness issues and bad eating disorder
Besides, enduring ankle injuries, there were some other issues for which the PFA Players’ Player of the Year suffered a lot. From his pre-season appearance, he showed an appearance of overweight which raised concerns over his fitness issues.
As per reports, after joining the club, Eden was struggling to adapt to the new culture and eating habits which gradually led to major health concerns resulting in the on-field bad show for the footballer.
Of course, the former AFC Tubize player isn’t happy with the stigma he had to bear after his removal from such a prestigious club like Real Madrid. On top of that, he was given the same jersey number as the legendary footballer Cristiano Ronaldo in the club but he failed to uphold its honor.
