Chelsea fans will hate what Thibaut Courtois has done after Eden Hazard makes Real Madrid move

Thibaut Courtois did not leave Chelsea on the best terms when he made the move to Real Madrid and he might have just angered the Blues fans even more.

Eden Hazard tonight completed the same move to join his Belgian countryman and follow a childhood dream to play for the Spanish side.

The 28-year-old could have left the Blues last summer, but Chelsea didn't want to let him go and the winger did not push the move through.

That was slightly different to Courtois, however, who wanted the move last summer and even did not turn up for pre-season at Chelsea while he waited for it to be sorted.

The incident left a lot of Chelsea fans angry with the goalkeeper, but his reaction to Hazard joining him in Madrid would also not gone down well with them.

Courtois posted a photo of the two of them while on international duty with the words 'Welcome to the best club in the world' written underneath.

The Chelsea fans will not appreciate that from their former player, with Hazard leaving the club as one of the best, most technically gifted players that they have had.

Hazard has joined Real until 2024 and will wear Cristiano Ronaldo's old number seven shirt.
