Only 32 years old, Eden Hazard retires from playing football. Here is the

Eden Hazard announces his retirement from football at the age of 32, after terminating his contract with Real Madrid prematurely. He makes this known on his personal profile on Instagram: "You have to listen to yourself and say stop at the right time.

After 16 years and more than 700 games played, I have decided to end my career as a professional footballer. I managed to realize my dream, I played and had fun in many areas of Europe and the world.

During my career I have been lucky enough to meet great coaches and teammates, I want to thank everyone for the wonderful moments. I will miss you all. I thank the clubs I played for and the Belgian national team.

Thanks to my family, my friends, those who advised me and those who have stood by me in good times or bad. And finally, thank you to all of you fans who have followed and encouraged me all these years. Now is the time to enjoy freedom and try new experiences. See you on the field, friends."

So, Eden Hazard "retired" today. One of the strongest Belgian footballers ever, one of the few chosen to enter the "100 club" (which has cost 100 or more million euros), the penultimate of Real Madrid, surpassed only by Jude Bellingham, but the most the Belgian cost 115 million euros.

A mountain of money for someone who played just 76 games in four years with Los Blancos, but that's another story. The truth is that Belgium have experienced a golden era of incredible hype, consistently among the favorites from the 2014 World Cup in Brazil until the 2021 European Championship.

A little less in Qatar 2022, still a good national team, but certainly less overflowing than the apogee in "Russia 2018". This golden generation of Belgium is now "opening its wings" and Hazard is a fresh witness
