HE’S EDEN FOR THE EXIT

ENGLISH FINALS Moscow, May 21, 2008

Man Utd 1 Chelsea 1

(aet – Utd won 6-5 on penalties)

Frank Lampard wiped out Cristiano Ronaldo’s opener before half-time and a fairly drab game meandered its way to penalties, with Didier Drogba’s red card for slapping Nemanja Vidic in a melee late in the game one of the few flashpoints. After Ronaldo missed his spot-kick, John Terry had the chance to seal it but slipped (left) on the Luzhniki Stadium grass and fired wide. Four kicks later Nicolas Anelka also missed to give United the trophy. Madrid, June 1, 2019 Liverpool 2 Tottenham 0

Hopes for a more absorbing all-england final second time round were ended after just 24 seconds when Moussa Sissoko handballed Sadio Mane’s pass from close range and Mo Salah scored from the spot. With Harry Kane short of match fitness, Spurs never looked like getting into the game and Divock Origi wrapped it up three minutes from time.

EDEN HAZARD could be on his way out of Real Madrid – after being made the scapegoat for their Champions League failure.

Spanish media turned on the ex-chelsea winger, who was pictured laughing after Real’s 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge.

Hazard has endured a difficult time since his £100million-plus move, but was handed a lifeline by boss Zinedine Zidane, who started him with the chance to save their season. The 30-year-old struggled in the defeat to Chelsea and was pictured enjoying a joke (above) at the end with Blues stars Kurt Zouma and Edouard Mendy.

Spanish daily Marca described Hazard as being in the “eye of the hurricane” and accompanied a scathing piece with the headline ‘Total Disappointment’.

The presenter of Spain’s late-night football show El Chiringuito declared: “He can’t stay a minute more at Real Madrid!”

But Hazard might find it hard to find another club as Real would struggle to recoup their money. He has also been hit by injuries – and is now public enemy No.1.
