For footballers joining the ranks of Real Madrid and Barcelona, the El Clasico holds a special place in their careers. It’s a fixture they eagerly anticipate, a stage to showcase their prowess, and an event of unparalleled significance for the clubs. Eden Hazard, who retired from professional football after his time at Real Madrid, missed out on this iconic clash.
During his four-year tenure with Real Madrid, from 2019 until his retirement, Hazard did not have the chance to participate in a single El Clasico match. His absence from these heated encounters stands as a notable gap in his career, despite his achievement of winning the UEFA Champions League.
As Hazard, now 32, reflects on his career, he might soon address whether he regrets not experiencing the intensity and rivalry of El Clasico during his time in Spain. While he secured the Champions League glory, it wasn’t the way he envisioned it.
Here is the video of all goals and assists that Eden Hazard provided for Real Madrid.
