Football is a funny game where anything can happen.

While matches have been stopped before for projectiles being thrown onto the pitch, it doesn't come close to what happened during Real Madrid and Osasuna's game.

Osasuna could be fined

Despite the fact that no one was injured by the sandwich, Osasuna could still be fined for their fan's actions. Football Espana reported that the Competition Commission will meet to decide whether Osasuna should have any punishment for the incident.

Fans troll Eden Hazard

Supporters saw the funny side of the incident and took to trolling Eden Hazard in the process. Some speculated that the sandwich was thrown onto the pitch so that Hazard could run for it. Hazard's weight and fitness levels have often been questioned during his time at Madrid.

@diq0407:

"He tried to lure Hazard to play and run."

@mohamedmaher3592:

"It was for Hazard so the ref went back to give it to him."

@yourwifesmce0:

"Come on they should’ve known Hazard wasn’t playing today."

@n9ne9ine:

@user308060475160:

"Everyone not knowing what to do when a sandwich is thrown on the field!"

"Hazard's online order arrived."

Hazard questioned about weight issues

Real Madrid attacker Eden Hazard has often faced criticism over his weight and fitness struggles, and that criticism has now followed him to the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

The Belgium star was left stunned when a journalist brought up his weight during a recent press conference, Sports Brief previously reported.

Hazard was fielding questions after Belgium’s 2-0 defeat to Morocco when an Egyptian journalist brought up his weight.
