Video: Eden Hazard’s son scores a worldie for Real Madrid’s youth team
Real Madrid have always had a tradition of nurturing the sons of their star players. In the past, Cristiano Ronaldo’s son Cristiano Jr. has played for its prestigious youth team and the situation is no different with Eden Hazard’s son, Leo.
In a recent Iscar Cup match, Leo has shown a glimpse of his potential by scoring an absolute banger. The 10-year-old scored Real Madrid youth’s second goal from outside the box, bamboozling the opposition goalkeeper in the process.
Mira, @hazardeden10, lo que acaba de hacer tu hijo en la #ÍscarCup.

The Iscar Cup is a prestigious youth tournament that has been going on in Spain since 2011. The competition has gained prominence due to the pedigree of teams competing in the tournament, including Real Madrid youth.
While Eden Hazard has struggled to perform at Real Madrid, it appears his son is doing quite a good job for himself and may potentially have a glittering professional career ahead of him.
However, with the Belgian international facing an uncertain future at Santiago Bernabeu, it is unlikely that Leo will continue with Real Madrid’s youth squad in the coming years.

Carlos Espi reacts after scoring match-winning goal in Elche 2-3 Real Madrid: ‘Starting like this is a dream’
Carlos Espi is becoming Real Madrid’s unlikely late-game specialist.
The 21-year-old once again came off the bench to rescue Jose Mourinho’s side, this time scoring the 91st-minute winner in a dramatic 3-2 victory over Elche.
It was his second goal for the club, and both have arrived at crucial moments.
Speaking to Real Madrid TV after the match, Espi could barely contain his excitement.
“I’m so happy—the happiest man in the world. I try to help the team any way I can, and every time I step onto the field, I give it my all and come away feeling great.
“Starting like this has been a dream. This isn’t over yet; we’re going to keep going because we have Sunday’s match coming up.

“This is a team effort. All of us who take the field make the most of our opportunities and give it our all,” he began.
Espi keeps making his minutes count
There is a growing pattern to Espi’s involvement. Even though he has yet to start a match for the first team, that has not stopped him from making an impact.
His first goal arrived against Espanyol in Real Madrid’s opening game, when another late strike helped secure the result.
Against Elche, he was required again after Real Madrid surrendered a two-goal lead and suddenly found themselves in serious trouble.
Espi eventually appeared at the back post in the 91st minute and finished the move to give Mourinho’s team all three points.
The youngster shared the credit with his teammates, but he also had special praise for the player who supplied his decisive moment.
That assist came from Kylian Mbappe, whose presence has made Espi’s route into the starting XI particularly difficult.
“It’s unbelievable—it’s crazy to watch him train and play. In this case, he set me up for the goal, and I’m very happy for him, too.”
First Madrid derby already has Espi excited
The timing of Espi’s latest contribution could hardly be more interesting, as Real Madrid now face Atletico Madrid on Sunday, giving the forward an opportunity to experience his first Madrid derby.
“I’m really looking forward to it—I’m so excited. It’s my first derby here, and we’re going to go for it.”
For Mourinho, Espi is a useful option when matches become chaotic. He may not yet be a regular starter, but his two appearances on the scoresheet have carried considerably more weight than the minutes he has played.
