Eden Hazard has issued a laughable apology with Chelsea players on the pitch after Real Madrid were eliminated from the Champions League.
Madrid crashed out of Europe’s elite competition after losing their semi-final tie 2–0 to Stamford Bridge in the second leg on Tuesday night, with Timo Werner and Kai Havart scoring goals for the hosts.

He said, “It has always been my dream to play for Real Madrid and I have come here to win.
“The season is not over and together we should now fight for La Liga. Hala Madrid! “
