Eden Hazard announced his retirement from sports on his social networks.
“You have to be able to listen and say “stop” at the right moment. After a 16-year career and over 700 matches played, I have decided to end my professional football career. I realized my dream of playing all over Europe and the world. During my career I have met wonderful people, managers, coaches, teammates. I especially want to thank the clubs I played for: Lille, Chelsea and Real Madrid. Of course, I want to thank the Belgian team,” Hazard wrote.
The Belgian moved to Real Madrid from Chelsea in the summer of 2019 for 115 million euros and became the winner of the Champions League with the team, won the championship and the Spanish Super Cup twice each, and the UEFA Super Cup and the Spanish Cup once each. This transfer is often included in the list of the most unsuccessful expensive acquisitions – Hazard was often injured and had problems with excess weight. Over 4 years, Eden played a total of 76 matches for Real Madrid, scored 7 goals and made 12 assists.
The midfielder played 126 matches for the Belgium national team and scored 33 goals. He played in three World Cups (2014, 2018, 2022) and two Euros (2016, 2020), and ended his career with the national team after the World Cup in Qatar.
