A disastrous week for the two giants of Spain. Before FC Barcelona’s terrible rout against Benfica (0-3), Real Madrid opened the festivities by losing at home to the modest Moldovan side FC Sheriff (1-2).

A meeting that Eden Hazard (30) did not play in its entirety. Taken off by Carlo Ancelotti in the 65th minute, the Belgian again missed the opportunity to distinguish himself. A finding that has lasted since the start of the season.

What earn him a nice double page in Marca this Thursday. But not to praise him. The Madrid daily does not charge the Red Devil like a mule, but it evokes an impatience more than present within the Casa Blanca and among its supporters. Carlo Ancelotti gives him a chance, Hazard is giving it his own, but it is far from enough. Already singled out for repeated injuries, the former Chelsea player is now seeing his performance come under fire.

He has played 7 of Real Madrid's 9 official matches this season for an eloquent record: 0 goal, 1 assist. Not famous. Installed on the right wing to let the twirling Vinicius Junior express himself on the left flank, Hazard must therefore also deal with a positioning that does not put him in optimal conditions as he prefers to play on the left. Officially recruited for 100 M € (160 M € according to leaks published in 2020 in the Last Hour), Eden Hazard is obviously very far from having justified such an investment.

And if within the club we wait for the reference match as a trigger, the wait is starting to be long. Ditto for socios. Under contract until 2024, will the attacking midfielder finally be able to react?. Today, it is the trio Benzema-Vinicius-Rodrygo that makes the microcosm merengue dream. Ejected, Hazard could even be shelved if Kylian Mbappe arrives next year.
