Hazard finally reveals why he’s not happy after Chelsea win the Champions league
Real Madrid winger Eden Hazard has insisted he did not celebrate Chelsea’s Champions League title and is keen to see his current club lift the trophy next season.
Chelsea beat Manchester City 1-0 in the final of the Champions League in Porto to win the competition for the first time in nine years. The Blues overcame Atletico Madrid, Porto and Real Madrid in the knockout stages of the competition to reach the finals.
Chelsea claimed an impressive 4-1 aggregate victory over Eden Hazard’s Real Madrid side in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
The Belgian was seen congratulating and smiling with his former Chelsea team-mates after the second leg at Stamford Bridge, for which he received heavy criticism and backlash from Real Madrid fans.
Hazard revealed he did not celebrate Chelsea’s Champions League victory and hopes to see Real Madrid lift the trophy next season.
“Of course not, I’m a Real Madrid player so I am not happy. I am just happy for a couple of friends in the team, I hope next season it’s for Real Madrid,” said Hazard.
Eden Hazard spent seven years at Chelsea, during which time he helped the club win two Premier League titles, two Europa League trophies, an EFL Cup and an FA Cup.
The 30-year-old also won Chelsea’s Player of the Year award four times in his years with the club, establishing himself as one of the best players in the world.
Hazard joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2019 for £100 million. However, he has struggled during his two seasons with Los Blancos. A lack of fitness and confidence has seen Hazard become a shadow of the player he once was at Chelsea.
