Real Madrid ace Eden Hazard named 2019 Belgium Player of Year

Real Madrid ace Eden Hazard has been named best player of the Belgian national team in 2019.

This is the third year in a row that the Real Madrid striker has achieved this recognition, which is awarded by the fans through a vote on the Belgian Federation's website.

In 2019, Hazard played eight matches with his national team and scored five goals and got seven assists. The Whites' forward, who has 106 caps, became the second highest scorer in the history of the Belgian national team with 32 goals this year.

Hazard's international debut came on 19 November 2008, when he was just 17, while his first goal came in 2011, at home against Kazakhstan. His greatest achievement with the national team is third place at the 2018 World Cup, where he had a great tournament and was voted the Silver Ball.
