Eden Hazard apologises for laughing with former Chelsea teammate Kurt Zouma after Real Madrid’s Champions League exit claiming it was 'never his 'intention to offend the fans'

Eden Hazard has issued an apology for laughing with his former Chelsea team-mates on the pitch following Real Madrid's Champions League exit.

Hazard – who returned to Stamford Bridge for the first time since his huge £90million transfer to Spain in 2019 – was seen smiling and laughing with his former colleagues Kurt Zouma and Edouard Mendy at full-time.

His reaction after the 2-0 loss - which saw Thomas Tuchel's side book their place in the Istanbul final with a 3-1 aggregate victory - saw fans take to social media to vent their frustration.
