Hazard: Title-Winning Season ‘Worst Of My Career’

By Daily Sports on July 20, 2020

Real Madrid forward Eden Hazard has described this year as “the worst season of my career” after struggling with a persistent ankle injury since his €100 million move from Chelsea last summer.

Hazard played an hour in the 2-1 win over Villarreal on Thursday that handed them the La Liga title with a seven-point lead over Barcelona with one game left to play.

“This year we won the title collectively. For me, at an individual level, I've had the worst season of my career for sure,” Hazard told France Info.

The 29-year-old suffered an ankle fracture in November and again on his return three months later, requiring surgery in March which was expected to see him miss the rest of the season.

La Liga’s suspension due to the coronavirus pandemic allowed Hazard to recover in time to take part in the competition's return, but he has not appeared comfortable.

The Belgium international has played six times since the restart, been an unused substitute in two matches and been left out of the squad entirely for three games, including the last of the domestic season at Leganes on Sunday.

Hazard will now be hoping to return to full fitness for Real Madrid’s Champions League clash against Manchester City on Aug. 7 as they look to overturn a 2-1 first leg deficit.

“It was a bit of a strange season, with everything that happened,” he said. “The next thing has to be the Champions League, even if it’s going to be difficult, because we have to play at Manchester City and they have a very good team.”

Hazard praised coach Zinedine Zidane, who has now won two league titles and three Champions Leagues in under five seasons as Real Madrid manager.

“We all knew Zidane as a player, he was the best. As a coach, we don’t even have to describe it,” he said. (ESPN)
