Ancelotti reveals why Eden Hazard did not make Real Madrid farewell appearance
Carlo Ancelotti, the head coach of Real Madrid, has stated that Eden Hazard did not request a farewell appearance at the club before his departure. Real Madrid concluded their 2022/23 La Liga season with a 1-1 draw against Athletic Club, during which Karim Benzema scored his final goal for the club. However, the attention surrounding Benzema's farewell overshadowed Hazard's exit at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. The focus was on Benzema, with fans being given the opportunity to bid farewell to the French striker when Marco Asensio was substituted on and off the pitch. On the other hand, Hazard and Mariano Diaz remained on the bench.
Both Hazard and Diaz will be leaving Real Madrid on free transfers, alongside Benzema and Asensio. The upcoming summer promises to bring significant changes to the club. Ancelotti confirmed that neither Hazard nor Diaz requested to be brought onto the pitch for a farewell appearance. The coach explained that he could only make five changes during the match and that the players did not express a desire to participate. However, Ancelotti praised both Hazard and Diaz for their professionalism and commitment throughout their time at the club, noting that they maintained a high level of dedication until their last day.
The future of Eden Hazard remains uncertain, as he departs Real Madrid. Karim Benzema, on the other hand, is expected to make a move to Saudi Arabia in the coming days. Marco Asensio has attracted attention from the Premier League, adding to the anticipation of potential changes in Madrid during the upcoming transfer window.
Hazard's departure from Real Madrid marks the end of a disappointing stint at the club for the Belgian forward. Since joining from Chelsea in 2019, Hazard has struggled with injuries, which significantly limited his playing time and hindered his ability to make a consistent impact on the pitch. Real Madrid had hoped that Hazard would be a key figure in their squad, providing creativity and goals,
but unfortunately, he failed to live up to expectations.
Despite the lack of a farewell appearance, Hazard's time at Real Madrid will be remembered for the potential he displayed, the injuries that plagued his career, and the frustrations that arose due to his inability to consistently contribute to the team. As he departs, Hazard will now face the challenge of resurrecting his career at another club, while Real Madrid will look to rebuild and strengthen their squad for future success.
