Hazard 'doesn't miss football' after retirement

Eden Hazard announced his retirement after failing to find another club following his release by Real Madrid. The 32-year-old endured an injury-plagued spell at Madrid after his 89-million-pound move from Chelsea in 2019, playing just 76 matches in all competitions across four seasons.

"You must listen to yourself and say stop at the right time," Hazard wrote on Instagram. "After 16 years and more than 700 matches played, I have decided to end my career as a professional footballer."

The 32-year-old attended the Ballon d'Or gala at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris with his partner and was asked about his decision.

"It’s perfect. It’s perfect. I’m enjoying life and family in the kids. I can do what I want and it’s a perfect life. I watch it [professional football] on TV when I can. I do other things also but at the moment I don't miss playing football. Let's see in a few months," he told 'TNT Sports'.
