Hazard came on as a substitute against his former club Chelsea in Real Madrid’s 1-1 draw against the English outfit in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. Hazard seemed excited about his return and insisted that he is ready to start games for Real Madrid. He said:
Zidane also seemed happy with the Belgian’s return, telling the media:
Real Madrid take on Osasuna at the weekend and Hazard is expected to be involved, and could possibly even make his first start for Zinedine Zidane’s side in over a month.
Real Madrid have a chance to win the double
Real Madrid are currently 2nd in La Liga, two points behind league leaders Atletico Madrid, and tied on points with 3rd placed Barcelona, although having played a game more than Ronald Koeman’s side. With only five league games remaining, Zinedine Zidane will know that his side cannot afford to drop any more points if they are to have a chance of winning the league title.
Real Madrid will also be confident of getting past Chelsea and advancing to the final of the Champions League. Los Blancos will face either PSG or Manchester City in the final if they do manage to get past the Blues.
