Eden Hazard's display against Eibar in a Spanish La Liga encounter on Sunday helped Real Madrid to a 3 - 1 triumph inside the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano.

Real Madrid French pro Manager Zinedine
Zidane has praised the Belgian forward for his great performance in the game.

Real Madrid, who are next after toppers Barcelona on the League table will lock horns with Valencia in their next encounter and Zidane has disclosed that Hazard suffered an injury scare, however, he is fine and will be fit for the next game.

The Belgium international featured for the Los Blancos for one hour before Vinicius Junior replaced him.

Zidane bared his mind after the game: “We knew Hazard would probably lack a little sharpness if he played the whole game.”

“He played for an hour, and played well, and he took a hit, which will do him good.

“He’s had a knock, a scare, but that’s football. He was fine at half-time, he was happy and he’s not afraid. He is happy with what he’s done and we’re happy with his work and that of the whole team.”

The French pro Manager further said: “We have players up top who can always make the difference. I think when Hazard laid it to Sergio, he could have scored himself too, but he’s altruistic, so he gave it to Sergio. It’s unselfish and I love to see things like that.”
