Manchester City legend  Vincent Kompany has spoken highly of Real Madrid star Eden Hazard.

Belgian sealed a big money move from Chelsea to Real Madrid in 2019, but has failed to replicate his previous heights at Real Madrid.

Hazard barely makes the Real Madrid squad these days, and many have called for him to resign.

However, Vincent Kompany has insisted that there’s still magic left in Hazard.

Speaking to RTBF, the former Manchester City captain said: “Talking about the end of his career is too early for me. The most important thing is that Eden had injuries and that’s what changed.

“Having injuries, you have to respect the fact that you can’t control that. He had to deal with injuries and the aftermath. And it’s always hard to come back.”

Kompany added: “Behind that, there is always the player who gave us a lot of good moments, who made us proud to support Belgium.

“And then, there is always someone who still has a fight to fight and still has something to do at some point.

“He can still score in the Champions League final, he can still win a title. There is still magic in this player, in the person. And we have to hope for the best for him so that he finishes as he deserves.”
