Eden stood out at Lille (50 goals and 53 assists in 194 games) and was then Chelsea’s best player (110 goals and 92 assists in 352 games).

Real Madrid paid €115 million to sign the Belgian in 2019, but he made just 76 appearances in four seasons at the Santiago Bernabeu, scoring just 7 goals and providing 12 assists.

“You need to listen and stop in time. After 16 years and over 700 games played, I have decided to end my professional football career.

I managed to achieve my goals, I played and felt good in stadiums all over the world. Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to meet great coaches and teammates. I thank them all and miss them.

I also want to thank all the clubs I played for. Lille, Chelsea and Real Madrid and thank the Federation for moments from the national team.

Special thanks to my family, friends, advisors and people who have supported me.

Finally, a thousand thanks to you, my fans, who have followed me and cheered me on all these years. Now is the time to enjoy the time spent with my loved ones and get new experiences. See you soon, friends” – Eden Hazardon Instagram.
