6 biggest losers from Eden Hazard's transfer to Real Madrid

#4 Barcelona

Real Betis Balompie v FC Barcelona - La Liga

While Real Madrid might have dominated Europe in recent years, domestic bragging rights undoubtedly belong to Barcelona.

Los Blancos triumphed in four of the last six Champions Leagues, but their league form has been truly atrocious, winning just two La Liga titles in the last decade, while their arch rivals have triumphed on seven occasions and added six Copa del Rey trophies (including four consecutive) to boot in the same period.

It is in line with this that Zinedine Zidane stated that capturing La Liga next season is the club's priority and on evidence of their transfer dealings this summer, the Frenchman can be confident in his side's ability.

So far in this window, Real Madrid have spent a total of £229.5m to bring in four players, with Luka Jovic, Rodrygo Goes and Eder Militao all completing moves to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Eden Hazard's arrival is however the icing on the cake and given his extremely world-class abilities, Zinedine Zidane would be confident that his team can go toe-to-toe with Barcelona in their quest for league glory.
