EDEN HAZARD HAS RETIRED FROM INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL.....

Former Chelsea, Madrid and Belgium superstar has decided to end his football career after 16 years and more than 700 matches played with 168 goals as a professional footballer.

I was able to realise my dream, I have played and had fun on many pitches around the world.

During my career I was lucky to meet great managers, coaches and teammates - thank you to everyone for these great times, will miss you all.

I also want to thank the clubs I have played for: LOSC, Chelsea and Real Madrid; and thank the RBFA for my Belgian Selection.

Hazard thank his my fans, who have followed him for all these years and for your encouragement everywhere I have played.

Now is the time to enjoy my loved ones and have new experiences.

See you off the field soon my friends.”
