Gareth Bale and Eden Hazard share the second spot on the list of the highest-paid players in La Liga.

Gareth Bale has had a sensational career ever since signing for Real Madrid in 2013. He displays explosive speed and strength and is regarded by many as one of the most difficult players to defend against. Bale has won two La Liga titles, as well as a stunning four UEFA Champions League titles during his time with Madrid.

Eden Hazard left Chelsea for Real Madrid in 2019. Hazard is blessed with immense skill and creativity and is considered to be one of the most talented players of his generation.

Hazard has struggled with injuries since joining Madrid and is yet to reach the level he displayed with Chelsea. He has previously won two league titles with Chelsea and also won La Liga with Madrid in 2020.

Hazard is doubtless one of the best players to have come from Belgium.
