Eden Hazard, the most expensive signing in the history of Real Madrid, still doesn't know what it's like to play a Clásico.
Hazard since joining Real Madrid in 2019 has never played in the “El Clasico” against Barcelona. With the absence of Benzema, yesterday he had a golden opportunity to be able to play his first minutes in this type of match, but, once again, Ancelotti decided to leave him on the bench. Real Madrid wanted Hazard for games like 'El Clasico' and to make a mark when it comes to signings and the worst news is that the attacker is non-existent when it comes to matches against Barcelona. He was unable to play the first four games against Barcelona due to various injuries or discomfort.
This season, Hazard is having more luck with injuries, but even with those, Ancelotti does not trust his services. In the first leg at the Camp Nou, it was the first game where the Belgian player was called up for a Clasico, but the Italian coach decided not to use him. The year 2022 began with Real Madrid-Barcelona in the semifinals of the Spanish Super Cup, and with this it could indicate a new direction in the dynamics of Eden Hazard, but it wasn't the case. In that match, not even with the extra time involved, the 31-year-old winger did not play a single minute. With yesterday's game, Hazard returned to the bench where he did not even warm up. He will have to wait another season to play his first Clásico. With such limited amount of minutes, who knows if he will be in Carlo Ancelotti's plans: he has played a total of 50 minutes in the last ten games, without playing a single minute in the last five games.
