Eden Hazard recorded an assist as Real Madrid resumed their La Liga campaign with a stunning win over Eibar.

Hazard and co marked their side's La Liga restart with a convincing 3-1 victory against Eibar on Sunday.
And the Belgium superstar produced a brilliant performance as he was involved in all three goals, while setting up Real Madrid's second goal.
He unselfishly played in captain Sergio Ramos who converted from close range.
As well as his assist, the 29-year-old also completed three dribbles, won seven duels and finished the game with a 90% passing accuracy.

Needless to say, Hazard's showing for Real Madrid sent social media into overdrive.
Really good to see a strong 60 mins from Hazard today. Positive stuff.
And for everyone who wanted him to shoot instead of assist Ramos, it's just not going to happen. He has said that if the pass is more beautiful than the shot, he is passing it 10 times out of 10. pic.twitter.com/6ZRLhUKhuJ
