Real Madrid winger Hazard happy to play Chelsea 'friends': But I want to win!

Real Madrid winger Eden Hazard was happy to play against his old Chelsea 'friends' on Tuesday night.

The Belgian came on as a second-half substitute against his former side, with the Champions League semi-final first leg ending in a 1-1 draw.

Hazard insists he holds no allegiances to his former club and only wants Real Madrid tow in.

"It could be better and it could be worse! We will go there looking for the win," Hazard said after the game.

"I am just going step by step, of course I want to play, I want to be on the pitch. I played a bit more today than before, we have games before the end of the season and I want to be ready. I am just happy to be playing again.

"It's always good to play against friends. Now I am a Real Madrid player so I just want to win.

"The manager decides what formation we play, we know how to play with three at the back but we can also play with four."
