The two counterparts, Eden Hazard and Raphael Varane were seen enjoying a game of basketball in their vacation
For Eden Hazard, the last couple of years have been a massive aberration in the Belgium playerโs career.
From tearing the pitch up for Chelsea as he made a name for himself in the clubโs folklore to failing to get a decent run of ties at Real Madrid, Hazardโs reputation has been tarnished in the last couple of campaigns. Hampered by persistent injuries and lacklustre displays when heโs been on the park for the La Liga club, Hazard has been a shadow of the player tormenting opponents in the Premier League.
Ever since heโs earned his dream move to Real Madrid, Hazard has failed to see the wind sway in his favour. While he showed glimpses of what he had to offer in Euro 2020, injury and Belgium being sent packing by Italy saw Hazard fail to really get an opportunity to remind everyone of his innate talent.
Eden Hazard Plays Basketball With Raphael Varane
Currently away from the game with him on vacation before he again links up with Real Madrid, Hazard looks to have decided to take away his mind from football altogether. The player was spotted playing a game of basketball alongside peer Raphael Varane.
The two were captured competing on the court with Hazard seen lining up a stellar triple from the corner.

Eden Hazard Next To NBA Player Luka Doncic
Hazardโs love for basketball is well known with his picture alongside Dallas Mavericksโ Luka Doncic taking the internet alight. It was down to the colossal height difference between the two with Doncic dwarfing Hazard as the two met during Hazardโs time at Chelsea.

Hazard will be looking to finally come good when he steps out for Real Madrid for the 2021-22 season of La Liga. The swashbuckling player is more than capable of emerging as a searing headache for any opposition when heโs functioning at his imperious best.
Raphael Varane Set To Seal Switch To Manchester United
Raphael Varane meanwhile is bound to have taken some tips on how to play in the Premier League from Hazard when the two caught up. The French CB is said to be on the verge of sealing a switch to Manchester United with him making his desire to leave Real Madrid clear.
