'Hazard will stay with Real Madrid' Ancelotti confirmed

Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that Belgian star

has no plans to leave

and will stay with the team.

Hazard joined Real Madrid from

in June 2019 for € 100 million, but with a number of injuries, he became one of the worst signings in the club's history. He has made just seven starts in his 17 La Liga appearances this season. However, the Belgian star is a popular figure among his team-mates and showed his passion and motivation for the team in the celebration of the La Liga championship and the victory against City in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Before traveling for the game against Cadiz, Ancelotti announced his intention to keep Hazard in Madrid.

The Italian said:

"I have not talked about continuity. He stays and with a lot of motivation because he has not had a good time. He wants to show his quality. Hazard's plan is clear: he stays."

Asked if he rotates his squad ahead of Champions League final against Liverpool, Ancelotti said: 

"I think so. In a squad like Madrid's there are many games. 

"There will be rotations. With a more complete squad you can rotate more and everyone can have opportunities. Being a starter in a great team is very complicated. For all, not only for those who play less.

"I think it is a locker room of a very high level. Professional, first, there are no arrogant people. Everyone is very humble and very respectful. It is a locker room that has a lot of quality of character. 

"It hasn't been easy to find changing rooms like this in my career.

"The number of minutes is not important. We have the example of Rodrygo. He has not played many minutes, but they have been quality when he features."
