Eden Hazard has firmly denied ever considering a move to Barcelona. The former Real Madrid forward made it clear that his heart was set on Madrid from a young age.

Would I have joined Barcelona? No. My dream was Real Madrid since I was a kid. When I started playing football, I always told my dad that I wanted to play for Madrid. Of course, Barca – their style, Messi... but Hala Madrid, my friend.

Despite the allure of Barcelona's play and Lionel Messi, Hazard’s loyalty was unwavering. He eventually realized his dream transfer to Real Madrid in 2019 after moving from Chelsea.

However, his time at the Spanish giants fell short of expectations. Over four years in Madrid, Hazard managed to score just seven goals, leaving fans and critics disappointed.
