Thirteen-time UEFA Champions League winners, Real Madrid will retain former chelsea playmaker, Eden Hazard for one more year at least, Marca confirms.
Anaedoonline.ng reports that Madrid got kicked out in the UEFA Champions League semi-final on Wednesday, May 5 after a 2-0 defeat to dazzling English Premier League club, Chelsea FC.
Madrid’s manager, Zinedine Zidane, put Hazard on the start last night, a gamble that backfired as the Belgian was put in a corner by Chelsea’s defence before he was eventually taken off in the dying minutes of the game.

However, despite the player’s poor form with the club, Madrid is willing to keep him till next season and resist the temptation to cut their losses.
The club’s board are said to back Zidane’s decision to coax the player out of his slump by continuing to pick him ahead of Marco Asensio and Lucas Vazquez.
Speaking after the game last night, Zidane said of Hazard: “He needs a run of games. Eden has to play, he has to recover his confidence and all that, but by playing games. It’s a gradual process. It’s his second game in a row and we have to get him back playing.”
