5 takeaways from La Liga’s return: Eden Hazard looking sharp
By AJ Desai
La Liga is back, and Eden Hazard is already making an impact again.
As La Liga returned back to action after being at a halt for more than three months due to COVID-19. The season kicked back off on June 11th with Barcelona and Real Madrid maintaining their positions at first and second place in the table, respectively.
On to the takeaways.
1. Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi comes back with a new look after shaving off his beard. I have to say bearded Messi makes him look a lot more dapper than clean-shaven Messi. Pure baby face!

2. Moment of Silence for the victims affected by the Coronavirus (COVID-19). I personally thought this was very touching. One of many sports that paid tribute to a situation that has infected the entire world and has led to nearly half a million lives lost.
3. Match Day Experience has been altered. The chants and whistles are gone! Pre-game festivities, bus arrivals is what makes a match special.
Unfortunately, the league cannot allow those things due to social distancing rules, but at least we got football back!
4. Luis Suarez is back after his knee injury for Barcelona. It took 4-5 months for him to get back to full speed. The striker was involved in 12 moves and 2 shots on goal in 33 minutes.
5. Real Madrid star left winger Eden Hazard is finally 100 percent. Eden Hazard being healthy is exactly what Real Madrid need for the remainder of this league campaign.
The Belgian had a powerful shot on goal but Marko Dmitrovic saved it, but Marcelo on the other end tucks into the right bottom corner for the goal. Hazard just needs a couple of matches under his belt at 100 percent health for Real Madrid.
