Eden Hazard has no regrets about how his dream move to Real Madrid unfolded as he enjoys life after football. (More Football News)
The Belgian forward joined the Spanish giants in 2019 after becoming one of the best players in the world at Chelsea but could not have the impact he hoped for.
Injuries and poor form restricted him to just 76 appearances in all competitions before leaving the club after four disappointing years last summer.
He decided to retire soon after, aged just 32, but will put his boots back on this summer after signing up to play for the World XI at Soccer Aid.
Hazard still looks back on his time at the Bernabeu with pride.
바카라It was my dream, I can tell you,바카라 he said. 바카라Even if the story was not that good, we all know injuries and this and that, but when you look back you can see some pictures of me wearing the Real Madrid shirt and it was something I am really proud of.바카라
Asked whether he could have carried on playing had things ended differently at Madrid, he replied: 바카라That바카라s a good question, who knows? I think so, but my time playing football was over, I had a lot of injuries, so no regrets.바카라

He won two Premier League titles, two Europa Leagues, an FA Cup and a League Cup and reflects on 바카라pure happiness바카라 during his stay in west London.
바카라I spent seven years, the best memories of my football career,바카라 he said.
바카라I met great players, not just inside the team but also outside the club, it was seven years of pure happiness.
바카라When you leave you always feel a bit sad but this club is always in my head, so just good memories.바카라
Hazard, who has kept in shape because he doesn바카라t want to look like 바카라Peppa Pig바카라, is enjoying life away from football.
He does not see a future in professional coaching or management, but would love to help his five children follow him into the game.
바카라I am enjoying it a lot, I miss being with the lads in the dressing room a bit but I have the freedom to do what I want now,바카라 he told the PA news agency.
바카라I have kids, I have family, I can go to Belgium to see my mum and dad, so I can do a lot of things.
바카라I don바카라t know, now it is just good to be away, but I still love football, for sure I am going to do something in football in the future, but now I just want to relax and enjoy my retirement.
바카라I don바카라t think I will coach professionally, but I think I can coach for youth teams. I have kids, and I want to teach them how to play football.바카라
He will be managed by current Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino in the charity match, with the likes of Usain Bolt and Roberto Carlos joining him in the World XI.
바카라It바카라s going to be at Stamford Bridge with friends, so it is going to be a great night,바카라 he said.
바카라So let바카라s have fun, score some goals and make the fans happy. They do amazing work, especially when you are a dad and you have kids and you see everything they do for kids.
바카라You want them to do more and that is why you want people to come to the game to have a good time at Stamford Bridge.바카라
