Eden Hazard admits he arrived at Real Madrid overweight.

Hazard's fitness has been questioned since his summer signing from Chelsea.

And he conceded, I don't hide it. When I am on vacation, I am on vacation. I am someone who puts on weight fast and loses it fast.

"When I was in Lille at 18, I weighed 72 kilos. Afterwards, I gained muscle mass up to 75 kilos. On a bad day I weigh 77 kilos, but weighed 80 this summer. I lost everything in ten days.

"I am satisfied this last month. I have scored, assisted and created a penalty. The first months were not enough. I try to do my best. This last month, I picked up the ball, dribbled more, and accelerated. In the first months I tried to be simple but people expected me to haggle more."
