  • Eden Hazard delivered a notable assist to Kylian Mbappe’s father during a charity game
  • The former Belgian international was the star of the night with a goal and many assists
  • Mbappe later boasted online about his father being the Cameroonian 'Ronaldo Nazario'

Barely one week after announcing his retirement from professional football, Eden Hazard graced the football pitch and delivered an assist to Kylian Mbappe’s dad in a charity match.

The ex-Belgium international featured for Varietes CF against Team Calais in the Yellow Pieces charity match and replicated some of his Chelsea moments with an outrageous flick.

Hazard's effort found Mbappe’s dad, Wilfred, who charged towards the goal before slotting the ball into the net in spectacular fashion.

The 53-year-old first had the goalkeeper sitting on the turf before tucking home to make it 6-0 for his side in a dramatic fashion.

Hazard was the star of the night, as the former Real Madrid winger also found the back of the net in the encounter plus another assist.

The game was played at the 12,000-capacity Stade de l’Epopee, as the fans were treated to a spectacle with some French football icons.

Hazard donned his preferred No. 10 shirt and had Arsenal legend, Robert Pires and ex-Barcelona star, Ludovic Guily as partners in the attack, talkSPORT reports.

In midfield, the experienced pair of Didier Deschamps and Claude Puel played alongside ex-Newcastle star, Yohan Cabaye.

Fans react to Mbappe's dad scoring

Fans have continued to react to the goal by Mbappe’s dad and have drawn comparisons between him and his superstar son.

"Like father, Like son."

Another asked:

"Was Mbappe’s father a footballer before?"

A fan wrote:

"Hazard is still way too good to be playing in these sorts of matches."

Mbappe hilariously likens dad to Ronaldo

Sports Brief also reported that after the Yellow Pieces game, Mbappe hilariously likened his dad to R9, posting on social media that the Cameroonian version of Ronaldo was ready.

Illustrating a masterclass to his son, Mbappe Senior elegantly sat the keeper down with a shimmy before slotting the ball home, increasing Varietes CF's tally against Team Calais.

How Mourinho predicted Hazard’s possible early retirement

Sports Brief also reported on Mourinho’s sentiments about Hazard's career from eight years ago resurfacing after the Belgian’s retirement announcement.

The former Chelsea superstar called it quits on a lucrative professional football career on October 10, after his contract at Real Madrid was ripped up.

Hazard joined Los Blancos in 2019 from the Blues for £89 million but ended up making just 54 appearances for the Spanish giants during a troubled spell.
