Real Madrid attacker Eden Hazard struggled in a bounce game against Raul's Castilla yesterday.

Real coach Carlo Ancelotti had his senior team face Castilla in a hit out at Valdebebas.

Relevo says Hazard started for the first team and struggled throughout the game. It's claimed he was active but not productive.

During this one-hour hit-out, the 32-year-old was visibly below the fitness levels of his younger opposition and appeared sluggish.

Quite the opposite, however, was shown by Karim Benzema, who was sharp and appeared ready for the club's next important dates, against Barça in the semifinal second leg of the Copa del Rey, in six days, then against Chelsea, in the quarterfinal of the Champions League seven days later.
