Hazard Criticised for Poor Performance Against Fourth Tier Cacereno

• Real Madrid beat fourth-tier side Cacereno in the Copa del Rey thanks to a goal by Rodrygo
• Eden Hazard played 68 minutes but hardly touched the ball in another poor performance
• Real Madrid fans are tired of Hazard's form and think it's time he leaves the Spanish club

Eden Hazard's disastrous run at Real Madrid continues and fans are growing tired of his poor performances.

The Belgian attacker played 68 minutes of Los Blancos' Copa del Rey tie against Cacereno, but hardly touched the ball during his time on the field.

Given that Cacereno are a fourth-tier side, many expected the Spanish champions to breeze by them and record a comfortable victory.

Fringe players like Hazard were also expected to prove why they deserved to be in the team.

But with Madrid winning 1-0 thanks to Rodrygo, and Managing Madrid rating the Belgian's performance as a two, fans have had enough.

This is how social media reacted to his far-from-stellar showing:

@dme_363:

"Hazard finished at 32 is so sad."

@dme_363:

"Hazard is no more Belgian. He is now Finnish."

@itzdhave:

"Been supporting Hazard since day one, having faith that something might trigger prime Hazard, but after yesterday's disaster class he needs to leave this January."

@MikaelMadridsta:

"If Eden Hazard has some self-dignity, he should start looking for a new club."

@HansLxnda:

"Hazard can’t even crack it in Copa del Rey against part-time janitors these days."

@MediiBlanco:

"Hazard off and we score? Surely not a coincidence "

@abdule_10:

"Hazard and Ascensio are getting physically bullied by division 4 footballers, that's all you need to know about how pathetic their athleticism is, Vinicius is literally the only proper wide player in the squad that ticks the basics of being a winger."

Hazard could leave Real Madrid

Eden Hazard’s recognises his days as a Real Madrid player could be drawing to an end very soon, after a difficult few seasons with the Spanish champions.

The Belgium captain's stay at Madrid has been one filled with many disappointments, as the 31-year-old winger has struggled with injuries and loss of form in his three years with Los Blancos.

Hazard has opened the door on a possible Real Madrid exit as early as next summer, Sports Brief has reported.
