And as the players and members of the technical bench celebrated in the locker room, Hazard tried to give his teammate’s son champagne which Kroos immediately turned away.

SportBible reports that Kroos stopped the Belgian before the two continued with their celebrations. There was no indication whatsoever that Kroos was angry with his teammate’s decision to give his eight-year-old son some champagne.

Eden Hazard offers a hopeful message to Real Madrid fans

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Eden Hazard had offered a message of optimism to Real Madrid fans after their Champions League triumph. Hazard assured the fans that next season will be his chance to show the world what he is capable of.

The winger was signed from Chelsea in 2019 but has endured a difficult three years in Madrid due to constant injuries. This season, the Belgian has only started seven games. Vinicius Junior has enjoyed a remarkable campaign that Hazard has had to contend with a place on the bench.

Real Madrid were celebrating their record 14th Champions League title at the Plaza de Cibeles in Spain. The likes of Marcelo, Karim Benzema, Vinicius Junior and head coach Carlo Ancelotti had already spoken when Hazard requested an opportunity to talk to deliver his message.

Karim Benzema receives backing for the Ballon d'Or award

Sports Brief also reported that this season's Ballon d'Or award appeared to be a one-horse race, with many clamouring for Real Madrid's Karim Benzema.

Top football icons, both past and current active players have backed the Frenchman to succeed Lionel Messi as this year's winner of the Ballon d'Or.

In a post on Twitter, sighted by Sports Brief, hundreds of fans took to the streets to chant Benzema's name for this year's Ballon d'Or award.
