Real Madrid’s investment in Eden Hazard has widely proven to be a disappointment, with the attacker struggling with a lack of form, injuries and seemingly reduced prominence in Carlo Ancelotti’s plans.

During his time at the club so far, Hazard has featured in only 72 competitive matches, scoring just seven goals in the process. To put things into perspective, he had scored 16 league goals during his last season at Chelsea.

Hazard’s failures at Santiago Bernabeu have cost the club dearly, though it appears the Whites have managed to recover their losses through the ascension of Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo.

Nevertheless, Hazard has recently opened up about his struggles with injuries, suggesting that the forward is back to ‘normal’ and his woes are unlikely to come back, at least for the time being.

“My injuries at Real Madrid? Now everything is back to normal,” said Hazard (h/t Madrid Xtra). The Belgian international, though, is hoping for a platform to showcase his skills rather than sitting on the bench most of the time.

“I only hope for one thing, to be able to show on the pitch that I’m still at the top, there’s not much more to say about it,” he added.

Hazard’s comments come in the midst of his struggles with game-time at Real Madrid. He has indeed fallen behind the likes of Vinicius, Rodygo and even Marco Asensio in the pecking order, having featured in only three league games so far this season.

Hazard does not appear to have any future left at Real Madrid either, especially as the Whites look to make way for new signings such as Endrick, with the Brazilian youngster keen on joining the Spanish giants in the near future.
