Luka Modric and Karim Benzema scored the game-winning goals, giving Carlo Ancelotti his first trophy since returning to the club.

Hazard, on the other hand, was not smiling as he was an unused substitute at the King Fahd International Stadium in Saudi Arabia.

As his team-mates posed alongside the trophy, the ex-Chelsea hero was the only member of the Madrid squad who did not exhibit his joy.

Real fans, meanwhile, were eager to respond to the situation on social media.

“Everyone happy, except Hazard,” one user tweeted. Another person said: “What do you expect from him when he spends the most of his time warming the bench? Real Madrid is a force to be reckoned with.”

A third has been added: “I’m devastated. Hazard earned the best, but he is suffering at the club of his dreams.”

Meanwhile, one user wrote: “Regrettably, I no longer care. If he’s unhappy, he should leave the club, so it’s his fault.”
Hazard, who joined Real from Chelsea in 2019, has struggled to establish himself at the club due to a series of ailments.

He has played in 16 games across all competitions this season, but has yet to contribute a goal.

In the 38th minute, Real took the lead against Bilbao thanks to Modric’s goal, which came after fantastic work from Brazilian trickster Rodrygo.

Following VAR intervention after Yeray Alvarez was adjudged to have handled the ball, Benzema extended Madrid’s lead from the penalty spot seven minutes after the break.

Eder Militao was sent off three minutes from time for handball on the goal line, reducing Ancelotti’s team to 10 men.

Thibaut Courtois, on the other hand, ensured he’d preserve a clean sheet by wonderfully stopping Raul Garcia’s penalty kick with his left foot.
