Eden Hazard, once a football genius and a symbol of Chelsea and the Belgian national team, is trending again on social media—but not for his dazzling skills. A recent TikTok video has sparked laughter across the football world by showing the former player awkwardly slipping during a charity match. The once agile and lightning-fast winger who amazed in the Premier League now seems a distant memory.

The clip, which has surpassed two million views, shows Hazard attempting a dribble only to end up on the ground. But it’s not the failed move itself that’s gone viral—what truly caught fans’ attention was his noticeable weight gain and clear decline in physical shape. Unsurprisingly, comparisons to Cristiano Ronaldo, who at 40 still trains like a top-level athlete, quickly filled the comment sections.

Hazard’s physical transformation: proof of his love for burgers?

Although the jokes about burgers were already a recurring theme during his time at Real Madrid, Hazard’s current condition has reignited debate about his post-retirement lifestyle. While many fans remember his talent with admiration, others couldn’t help but comment on his figure, linking it—half-jokingly—to unhealthy habits and the infamous fast food references that trailed him in Spain.

At 34, Hazard looks more like a player who retired a decade ago than a star who left professional football less than two years ago. This stark contrast has sparked reflection among fans and pundits alike: natural talent isn’t enough without proper care and discipline. While some of his peers remain at the top, Hazard’s example shows how quickly a lack of physical commitment can end a career.

Despite his current form, the Belgian’s football legacy remains impressive. He played over 600 matches, scored more than 160 goals, and registered nearly 130 assists. He lifted trophies in France with Lille, in England with Chelsea, and in Spain with Real Madrid—though his time in Madrid was marred by injuries and inconsistency.

Hazard also took part recently in the Mallorca 312 OK Mobility, a demanding cycling event. He completed the 225-kilometer intermediate route but admitted, with a laugh, that it was “very tough” and that he needed “to lose a bit of weight.” While his honesty was appreciated, the image of a fallen idol remains etched in memory.

Hazard keeps making headlines—just no longer for his brilliance on the pitch.
