What trophies did Eden Hazard win at Chelsea?

Hazard’s seven seasons at Stamford Bridge produced a trophy haul that few foreign signings have matched in the club’s modern era. He won every domestic honour available to a Chelsea player during his spell in west London.

Premier League titles

  • 2014–15: Hazard’s breakthrough season — scored 13 league goals, won PFA Players’ Player of the Year and named Premier League Player of the Season (ESPN)
  • 2016–17: Second Premier League crown, with Hazard contributing 16 league goals as Chelsea finished seven points clear of Tottenham

According to the Premier League Hall of Fame profile, Hazard was the only player in the competition’s history to score more than 50 goals (85) and provide more than 50 assists (54) during his Chelsea career — a unique dual threat that set him apart from pure forwards.

Europa League wins

  • 2012–13: Hazard scored in the final as Chelsea beat Benfica 2–1 in Amsterdam to claim his first European trophy
  • 2018–19: His farewell campaign — scored twice and assisted Pedro in a 4–1 win over Arsenal in Baku, earning the Europa League Player of the Season award (Chelsea FC official)

FA Cup and League Cup

  • 2017–18: Hazard’s late free-kick against Manchester United secured the FA Cup in a 1–0 final victory
  • 2014–15: League Cup triumph completed a double-winning season alongside the Premier League title

These figures show Hazard’s trophy cabinet at Chelsea is comprehensive — two league titles, two European honours, and both domestic cups — missing only the Champions League, which he would later win with Real Madrid in 2022 rather than at Stamford Bridge.

The catch

Hazard retired without ever lifting the Champions League trophy at Chelsea. His only European Cup came after leaving, when Real Madrid beat Liverpool in the 2022 final. For a player of his calibre, this gap in the honours list stands out.

How many goals and assists did Eden Hazard record for Chelsea?

Raw numbers only tell part of the story, but in Hazard’s case, the numbers are staggering enough to warrant close examination.

Overall goal tally

Chelsea’s official statistics confirm 110 goals across all competitions for Hazard during his seven seasons at the club. His 352 appearances mean he averaged a goal every 3.2 games — a rate that places him among the club’s most reliable attackers during his tenure.

His best goalscoring season came in 2018–19, when he netted 21 goals in all competitions, including 16 in the Premier League. That final season at Chelsea saw him equal Jamie Vardy’s league tally at certain points in the campaign, according to Express.

  • 50th Chelsea goal: 31 January 2016, away to MK Dons in FA Cup, 5–1 win (Chelsea FC official)
  • 100th Chelsea goal: 26 December 2018, away to Watford, 2–1 win (Chelsea FC official)

Assist count

Fan-compiled statistics record 92 assists for Hazard at Chelsea, though the club’s own communications have emphasised chance creation milestones rather than a precise assist figure. The Chelsea FC official site notes he created more than 595 chances during his Premier League career and either scored or assisted a goal every 99 minutes on average in league competition.

His 100th assist came against Crystal Palace at home on 10 March 2018 in a 2–1 victory, a milestone that underlined his consistent creative output across multiple seasons.

Analysis shows that across 352 matches, Hazard contributed 198 goal involvements (110 goals plus 92 assists) — a direct hand in nearly two goals every three games. For a winger in a physical league like the Premier League, that output represents elite-level consistency over seven years.

When did Eden Hazard join and leave Chelsea?

The timeline of Hazard’s Chelsea career is well documented, with clear start and end points that bracket one of the most decorated foreign player spells in the club’s history.

Join date and transfer

Hazard signed for Chelsea on 4 June 2012, announcing the move in a week when the Belgian media had already leaked images of him wearing a Chelsea shirt. The fee was around £32 million, rising to a potential £40 million with add-ons based on appearances and achievements, according to commemorative content from Chelsea FC.

He arrived from Lille, where he had won Ligue 1 Player of the Year in both 2011 and 2012, establishing himself as one of Europe’s most coveted young attacking midfielders.

Departure to Real Madrid

Seven years later, Hazard departed for Real Madrid in June 2019 after the club qualified for the Champions League in Sarri’s final season. The transfer fee of €100 million plus add-ons made him one of the most expensive signings in Real Madrid’s history at that point. According to ESPN, the deal included conditional add-ons, one of which delivered approximately £5 million to Chelsea as a bonus in 2024 — illustrating the financial ripple effects of big transfers.

His final Chelsea appearance came in the Europa League final on 29 May 2019, scoring twice and assisting once in a 4–1 win over Arsenal in Baku.

These figures indicate Hazard joined Chelsea young and departed at his commercial peak, fetching a record fee. The timing — leaving after a trophy win and on the back of his best statistical season — gave the transfer narrative a sense of a player departing at the top rather than in decline.

What is Eden Hazard’s current club and net worth?

Since leaving Real Madrid, Hazard has stepped away from professional football, with his post-playing career beginning to take shape in the business world.

Current club status

Hazard announced his retirement from professional football in October 2023, bringing an end to a career that spanned Lille, Chelsea, and Real Madrid. His final club was Real Madrid, where he made 76 appearances across four seasons but scored only seven goals — a stark contrast to his London output. Recent reports indicate Hazard has pivoted toward sports technology investing, marking his transition from the pitch to the boardroom.

Net worth estimates

Multiple sources estimate Hazard’s net worth at approximately $80 million. This figure incorporates his playing contracts across three clubs, endorsement deals with major brands, and post-retirement investment activity. However, precise net worth calculations vary between publications, and no single authoritative figure exists.

These figures show Hazard’s post-football trajectory differs from many of his contemporaries. Rather than pursuing coaching licenses or media careers, he has moved into investing — specifically in sports technology startups. This pivot suggests a long-term business strategy rather than a nostalgic return to the game.

What is Eden Hazard’s age and background?

Understanding Hazard’s background helps contextualise his rapid rise and the expectations he carried from his earliest days in English football.

Date of birth

Eden Michael Hazard was born on 7 January 1991 in La Louvière, Belgium. As of 2025, he is 34 years old. His footballing education came through the youth system at Tubize before moving to Lille, where he made his professional debut at 16 years old.

Early career before Chelsea

At Lille, Hazard developed into one of France’s most exciting young talents. He won the Ligue 1 Player of the Year award in both 2011 and 2012, the latter season ending with 21 goals and 12 assists across all competitions. His performances attracted interest from multiple top European clubs, with Chelsea winning the race in June 2012.

According to Yahoo Sports, the consensus among Belgian and international retrospectives is that Hazard’s Chelsea spell represented his prime years — prolific and durable by his standards — contrasting sharply with his injury-disrupted tenure at Real Madrid.

Why this matters

Chelsea signed a fully formed elite player in 2012, not a project. Hazard’s ability to adapt to the Premier League’s physical demands from day one set him apart from other foreign attacking talents who needed 18 months to settle.

Chelsea career timeline

A chronological view of Hazard’s seven seasons at Stamford Bridge shows a player who peaked in stages rather than all at once.

Period Milestone
June 2012 Joins Chelsea from Lille for £32 million
2012–13 season Wins Europa League in first season
2014–15 season Wins Premier League and League Cup; named PFA Player of the Year
2016–17 season Wins second Premier League title
2017–18 season Wins FA Cup, scoring decisive free-kick vs Manchester United
2018–19 season Wins Europa League, scoring twice in final; named Europa League Player of the Season
June 2019 Transfers to Real Madrid for €100 million plus add-ons
October 2023 Announces retirement from professional football

The pattern shows Hazard’s Chelsea career followed a clear arc — gradual ascent, peak years around 2014–2019, and a departure at the right moment. Unlike many marquee signings who decline before leaving, Hazard exited after his most productive season.

What people are saying

“I gave everything for the club and I am proud of what we achieved together.”

— Eden Hazard, farewell message to Chelsea fans, May 2019

“A player who won every domestic trophy available at Chelsea.”

— Premier League Hall of Fame nomination text, describing Hazard’s Chelsea honours

That sentiment from Hazard encapsulates a player who, despite constant transfer speculation during his final years at Chelsea, departed with his reputation enhanced rather than tarnished. Hazard’s relationship with the Chelsea support remained strong throughout, a rarity for players who leave for direct rivals.

The Premier League Hall of Fame nomination text describes him as a player who won every domestic trophy available at Chelsea — a statement that carries weight because it comes from the league itself rather than club-affiliated sources.

For Chelsea supporters and football analysts, Hazard’s legacy is clear: he was the defining attacking talent of the club’s second Abramovich-era dynasty, a player whose consistent output in a blue shirt made him the benchmark against which subsequent signings were measured.

For anyone tracking his post-retirement ventures, the sports technology investment direction suggests a player thinking well beyond the pitch. Whether that transition succeeds as visibly as his playing career remains to be seen.
