Hazard made the switch to Los Blancos in the summer of 2019, but he has yet to make an impact for the Spanish champions as he has struggled with multiple injuries.


Still, he remains fondly remembered by the Blues’ faithful and Ziyech has said that he takes inspiration from the Belgian’s style of play, he told: “Eden is a world-class player. You always take inspiration from that, how he plays the game. You always look at the small things, how he does stuff - and I can learn a lot from him. Of course we can make a challenge. You always have to believe in it. It starts from believing in it and then working every day harder. At the need of the day we will see what it brings. But you have to believe it is possible and that is what we are doing. We believe it.”
