Real Madrid fans were fed up with Eden Hazard after yet another hapless performance from the Belgian against Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Champions League.

Los Blancos' trip to Kyiv on Tuesday (October 11) ended in a 1-1 draw. Oleksandr Zubkov gave the hosts the lead in the 46th minute of the game. Antonio Rudiger equalized for the visitors in the fifth minute of stoppage time.

Hazard was handed a start by Carlo Ancelotti for the away clash as the Italian made six changes from the side that beat Getafe 1-0 in the league over the weekend. However, the former Chelsea winger was unable to impress the fans as his performance left a lot more to be desired, something that has been a major aspect of the player's career at the club.

He was eventually brought off in the 57th minute of the game, with Vinicius Jr. replacing the No. 7.

Hazard has now scored only one goal and provided one assist in seven games for the Spanish giants across competitions so far this season. Since joining the Spanish club in 2019 from Chelsea, the player has scored seven goals and provided 11 assists in 71 games.

Here's how fans reacted to his performance:

Los Blancos, however, have qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League despite the draw. The defending champions have amassed ten points from four games.

While talking to the media ahead of the game, the Italian stated (via realmadrid.com):

“Getting out of the group stage is our first objective of the season and the sooner we do that, the better. That can help to give you more energy for the league season, but you've got to realise that when it comes to the Champions League, Real Madrid can't possibly consider not putting in a strong performance.

"If we're lucky enough to qualify tomorrow night, we’ll then go on to put in two strong performances and will want to win both games.”

Next up for Madrid is El Clasico at home on Sunday, September 16.
