Former Chelsea and Real Madrid forward Eden Hazard has announced his retirement from football at the age of 32.

Hazard won two Premier League titles at Stamford Bridge before moving to Real Madrid in 2019.

But the Belgian struggled with injuries and made just 76 appearances in four seasons at Real before leaving in the summer.

"You must listen to yourself and stay stop at the right time," he wrote on Instagram.

"After 16 years and more than 700 matches played, I have decided to end my career as a professional footballer.

Sad to see him retiring at such a young age - but, given his injury struggles, I guess it does make sense.

Good luck to him in whatever he chooses to do next!
