Eden Hazard Looks Unhappy During Real Madrid’s Copa Del Rey Celebrations

• Eden Hazard was among Real Madrid's triumph squad that conquered Osasuna to clinch the 2023 Copa del Rey trophy
• Despite receiving a medal, the 32-year-old made only one appearance for Madrid in the competition
• Hazard signed for Real Madrid in the summer of 2019, but his performances for the club so far have not lived up to the high expectations set for him

Real Madrid won the Copa del Rey for the first time since 2014 after beating Osasuna in the final in Seville.

A Rodrygo double helped Los Blancos overcome the Pamplona-based club 2-1, scoring on either side of halftime to hand his side its 20th title in total.

Osasuna, who were playing in only their second final, were down within two minutes when Vinicius dribbled past a couple of defenders to set up fellow Brazilian Rodrygo for the opening goal, BBC reports.

Lucas Torro will draw parity for the underdogs however Rodrygo was on hand to deliver Real Madrid their first Copa triumph in almost a decade when he slotted home from close range after Toni Kroos' shot deflected into his path.

After the blast of the whistle, the playing body switched into a jubilant mood following their triumph and gleefully posed for a team photo on the podium.

But one player, Eden Hazard, did not seem happy, perhaps with himself, despite adding another title to his growing trophy cabinet during his stint with Madrid.

Hazard has endured a bittersweet time with the La Liga giants, winning every possible trophy with Real Madrid but has seen game time being few and far between, especially under Carlo Ancelotti.

According to Transfermarkt, the ex-Belgian skipper is in his final year and looks likely to exit the Bernabeu when his current contract expires in the summer.

Rodrygo, Vinicius inspire Madrid's Copa triumph

Rodrygo Goes fired Real Madrid to Copa del Rey glory with a clinical double in a 2-1 victory over Osasuna in Seville on Saturday, with Brazilian compatriot Vinicius Junior playing a part in both goals, Sports Brief reported.

Carlo Ancelotti's Madrid earned their 20th Spanish Cup at La Cartuja in their 40th final, ending a nine-year wait to lift the trophy again.

Madrid have now won all six of the trophies available to them during Ancelotti's second reign at the club after the Italian returned in 2021.

Barcelona congratulates Real Madrid

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that following the end of the game, Real Madrid's El Clasico nemesis put aside their age-old rivalry to congratulate the Spanish capital club on their most recent feat.

The Catalan giants took to the micro-blogging App, Twitter, to send a classy message to Los Blancos, which read: "Congrats to Real Madrid, the Copa del Rey Champions!"

Madrid remains the second most successful club in the Copa del Rey, only behind Barcelona, who boast a staggering 31 trophies.
