This image of Hazard joking with his former team-mates went viral after Wednesday night's game
Eden Hazard is facing a firestorm of criticism from the Madrid media after being filmed laughing with former team-mate Kurt Zouma at Stamford Bridge after defeat in last night’s Champions League semi-final.
The Spanish giants were knocked out by Chelsea 3-1 on aggregate, with the Belgian producing one of the meekest displays of his career.
Already a source of frustration to fans in the Spanish capital, Hazard's latest actions have drawn a furious backlash.
In their post-match analysis last night, El Chiringuito TV lambasted the 30-year-old Belgian. Pundit Josep Pedrerol delivered a dramatic monologue to camera, set to grave music, in which he summarised Hazard’s Madrid career to date: “Two years of taking the piss out of Real Madrid fans... two years of being overweight... just another Gareth Bale.”
