Eden Hazard says his number one priority at Real Madrid is to lift the Champions League. Los Blancos have a sensational recent record in the competition, having won it four times in the last six years and the 28-year-old made the move to Madrid in the summer in the hope of conquering the European stage.
It has been a slow start however for him personally and the club as they sit sixth in La Liga.
Zinedine Zidane has come under pressure for their performances so far this season, though if Real had have beaten Barcelona in the postponed El Clasico match then they would be sat top of the table.
Hazard arrived in the summer unfit and as aa result, has only played seven games in all competitions.
However, he scored his first goals for the club earlier this month in the 4-2 win against Granada.
In the Champions League, they have had a slow start following a 3-0 loss to PSG and 2-2 draw with Club Brugge, though they managed to defeat Galatasary 1-0 a week ago to grab their first European win of the season.
Hazard says that competition is his main priority, having never won it before – he joined Chelsea the summer after their 2012 triumph against Bayern Munich. “As I said on my first day, for me, the Champions League is important,” Hazard told Real Madrid TV. “They’ve won it a lot of times here in previous years and it’s difficult to win it every season because there are many teams involved, but I’ve come here to win it because it’s important for everyone and that goes for me too.”
