Real Madrid Players

Real Madrid comfortably dispatched Huesca 4-1 in La Liga to go top of the table. Benzema scored two goals and Hazard and Valverde got one goal each. Moreover, Hazard scored his first goal after a year since last scoring against Granada in October 2019. This was a much required win for Madrid before they face off Inter in the midweek for a place in the knockout stages of the Champions league.

First Half

Hazard

Eden Hazard opened the scoring for Real Madrid by hitting a screamer through his weaker foot from around 30 yards out. The goal was his first since last October and he couldn’t open his account for the season much better than this. Benzema got the second goal for Madrid with a bottom corner finish from a Vazquez’s cross.

Second Half

Real Madrid continued to dominate the match in the 2nd half and got their third goal through Valverde. However, Huesca managed to get one goal back through David Ferreiro in the 74th minute. Nevertheless, Benzema wrapped up the game with his second goal through a header from a Rodrygo pass.

Zidane was hugely excited about the performance of Hazard and said, “I’m happy with his game. The other day he played 20 minutes, today he started. Little by little, we know the quality Eden has. He scored a good goal. We needed it in the first half because the game was different after the goal.”

Hazard seems determined to get back to form after a turbulent last season. He was labelled as a flop signing by the Media and the fans as he cost Madrid 100 million Euros and hasn’t displayed anything resembling the form he showed at Chelsea. Moreover, injuries played a part as the player missed a lot of games and took time to recover.
