Eden Hazard suggested he would like to leave Chelsea and join Real Madrid in comments following Belgium's 2-0 win in the Third Place Playoff of the World Cup.

“After six wonderful years at Chelsea, it might be time to discover something different," said Hazard. "Certainly after this World Cup. I can decide if I want to stay or go, but Chelsea will make the final decision - if they want to let me go. You know my preferred destination.”

Hazard has long been linked with Real Madrid, who have lost Cristiano Ronaldo this summer.

Chelsea won't be in the Champions League in 18-19.
