Laugh With 2 Chelsea Players, Hazard: It Is Not My Intention To Offend The Madrid Supporters

JAKARTA - Eden Hazard via his Instagram account issued an apology for being seen laughing with Chelsea players on the field after Real Madrid were eliminated from the Champions League semifinals.

"I am sorry. I have read many opinions about me today and it is not my intention to offend Real Madrid supporters," Hazard wrote, quoted by Antara on Friday.

Madrid exited the competition after losing the semi-final second leg 2-0 at Stamford Bridge on Thursday, May, with Timo Werner and Kai Havertz scoring for the hosts.

However, Hazard did not appear to have been disappointed by the final result after he was spotted joking with Chelsea duo Kurt Zouma and Edouard Mendy as the players left the pitch.

Spanish media have criticized the Belgian national team player and questioned his commitment to Real Madrid.

Hazard then responded to the wave of criticism by affirming his commitment to achieving achievements with Real Madrid.

"It has always been my dream to play for Real Madrid and I came here to win."

"The season is not over and together we must now fight for La Liga. Hala Madrid!"

Hazard spent seven years of his career at Chelsea before joining Madrid in a transfer worth 100 million euros in 2019.

His time at Madrid is still not up to the expectations as he continues to struggle with a series of serious injuries, which have cost him a long absence.
