#1 Eden Hazard puts up no-show
Eden Hazard's transfer to Real Madrid was one of the most straightforward deals in recent history, as all parties involved completed the requisite details with minimum fuss.

His arrival was also greeted with a lot of positivism by fans of the club, as despite paying a club-record fee for his services, the Belgian international had proven to be a world-class performer and it was expected that he would help in their ascent back to the summit.
A foot injury sustained on the eve of the season delayed his debut, but even after his return to full fitness, Hazard's impact has not been as instant as expected, with the former Lille man proving to be nothing more than a passenger in some matches.
So far, he has scored just one goal and provided one assist from six matches and against Real Betis, Hazard failed to up the ante and make a mark on the game with his teammates struggling.
Although he put the ball in the back of the net, the goal was correctly chalked of for offside and other than that, it was a subpar performance from the Real Madrid number 7.
He failed to fire a single shot in the match, while he made just one key pass and had only 52 touches in the game.
On his day, Eden Hazard is undoubted a world-class player of the highest level with the ability to almost single-handedly decide the outcome of matches on his own and it is highly likely that he would recover his best form at Real Madrid.
However, given the notoriously demanding nature of Real Madrid fans, it would be in his best interest to start churning out performances deserving of his level.
