Spanish TV Presenter Drops Astonishing Rant On 'Overweight' Eden Hazard After Real Madrid's Defeat

Eden Hazard has been accused of "taking the p**s" out of Real Madrid fans after he was spotted laughing with his former Chelsea teammates on Wednesday.

Madrid were knocked out of the Champions League semi-finals as Chelsea sealed a 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge in the second-leg clash.

Chelsea will now face fellow Premier League side Manchester City in an all-English Champions League final on 29th May.

But Hazard sparked controversy at the full-time whistle as he was caught hugging his former teammates and laughing after Madrid's exit from the Champions League.

The 30-year-old ex-Chelsea star has been widely criticised by Spanish media since his arrival at Madrid in 2019.

Hazard has been hit with injuries during his time in Spain and failed to replicate his Chelsea form at Los Blancos.

However, reports in Spain claim that the Belgian winger could be axed from Madrid in the summer transfer window after their defeat to Chelsea.

Hazard has also been blasted on El Chiringuito by Spanish TV presenter Josep Pedrerol, who launched an astonishing rant against the Madrid flop.

"Madrid are eliminated, and look at Hazard," he said.

"Two years taking the p**s out of Madrid fans. Two years overweight.

"A lot of people say he is the new [Gareth] Bale. Madrid have spent years waiting for him, negotiating for him, spent £100m on him.

"They've just been eliminated, and it is possible for him to find something funny?

"After [Zinedine] Zidane gave him the opportunity to play when he didn't deserve it? He laughs at everyone?

"There is a lot to analyse about Madrid, such as Zidane's future, whether [Sergio] Ramos is fit or not to continue, whether there must be changes in the team, whether new signings must be made such as [Kylian] Mbappe, as well as [David] Alaba. There have to be big changes.

"But the situation with Hazard is very serious. Hazard cannot continue for one second more in Madrid."

Despite the scathing criticism in Spain, Hazard's stats showed he was Madrid's hardest-working player in their 2-0 defeat against Chelsea.
