Hazard

AS editor Alfredo Relaño looks back on Real Madrid's 2-2 draw at home to Club Brugges in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

La Champions vuelve al Bernabéu y alguien me recuerda que los dos últimos partidos de la competición jugados allí acabaron en derrota local.

The start of LaLiga hasn't exactly been thrilling, writes Alfredo Relaño. The new arrivals who promised to light up the game in Spain have yet to start delivering.

Alfredo Relaño reflects on a decaffinated Madrid derby in which much was expected of Joao Félix and Eden Hazard but both failed to show up at the Wanda.

It was a phrase that John Toshak used and it served Zidane well as he kept faith with the side that succumbed to PSG in Seville and was rewarded with victory.

The gaping difference between Atlético and Madrid was that the former had unyielding belief while the latter did not, hence the respective outcomes on Wednesday night.
