Spanish La Liga leaders Real Madrid won the Super Cup title for the 12th time, and this has made Eden Hazard very angry after he was left on the bench throughout the 90-minutes of the game. Goals from Luka Modric and Karim Benzema secured victory against Athletic Bilbao in the game held in Saudi Arabia.
Luka Modric curled in a brilliant strike to give Real a first-half lead at Riyadh’s King Fahd International Stadium. Their skipper Benzema then converted a penalty to make it. Athletic Bilbao, who beat Atletico Madrid to book the final ticket, was given a penalty. Still, they failed to convert the penalty as the game ended 2-0 in favour of Real Madrid.
Eden Hazard did not feature in the game, which has made the player very angry even though they won the title. The trophy is his first trophy with the club, but he is still unhappy because he was left on the bench. Carlo Ancelotti could be forgiven for leaving the player. Eder Militao was sent off for blocking a shot with his hand in the penalty box, reducing Real Madrid players to ten, leaving the coach to make substitutes to defend his goals.
According to the former Chelsea star player, he is now willing to the Spanish outlet. Hazard has suffered numerous injuries with the club, limiting his impact. Italian top side Juventus has indicated an interest in the player before now. The former Ligue 1 player said he wants to leave this could ignite the move again; English Premier League side Newcastle United is also monitoring him.
