These are the opportunities he must seize. Eden Hazard has taken advantage of an injury at Karim Benzema to regain his favor with Real Madrid. Against Celtic, the Red Devil was good for a goal and assist.

After one match there was already panic: would Eden Hazard be able to play this season? His penalty miss against Celta de Vigo did not help. And today MARCA once again argued that the Red Devil would not get much time to play.

But look, in football things can go fast sometimes. A few hours later, Eden Hazard was suddenly the celebrated man at the Royal after a goal and assist against Celtic.

On the half hour, the Belgian unexpectedly got his chance early after an injury at Karim Benzema. Carlo Ancelotti kept his word, because the Italian coach preached from the preparation that he saw an ideal false nine in Hazard.

For lack of better deep in the striker and because there is more than enough quality on the flanks.

Benzema leaves the field injured.

In Scotland, the move at first seemed to have little success. But after Vinicius’ opening goal, there was suddenly more space, which Hazard took advantage almost immediately.

First the Red Devil was good for a nice assist. Hazard himself mounted an attack by dribbling past two attackers like in his best days. He then served the indestructible Luka Modric. The Croat cut himself free and curled into the goal with the outside right.

Fifteen minutes before time, Hazard himself was the final station. Indeed, his first goal for Real in the Champions League since 2020 – it seems like an eternity ago. The dribbler had to push in a cross from Carvajal from close range.

Undoubtedly a very welcome boost after months of doubts.

And now it’s looking forward to the “official announcement” from Real on the seriousness of the injury at Benzema. Hazard will also wait impatiently.
