Hazard labelled Los Blancos a 'big-headed' club despite it being a dream move due to his admiration for Zinedine Zidane, who was the coach when he joined.
"It's easy to say now since I was little, I was a fan of Zidane," Hazard told France Football.
"There was Zidane, so I liked Real. The Bernabeu, white jersey, there is a charm that the others don't have. Real is special.
"Afterwards, I don't think so. It is not me. It's a bit of a big-headed club, and I'm not really like that. Even the way of playing didn't suit me, if you compare with other clubs. But it was my dream. I couldn't stop my career without coming here.
"I felt all this. As I always did, I would have liked to turn around, do it my way, and succeed. It proves that Real is bigger than everything. It's complicated to play there.
"Maybe I needed to practise more. I also had the wrong injuries at the wrong times. The operation, the installation of the plate, the confinement.
"I come back, I'm in pain, I'm forcing myself. Second season, I fart everywhere. [Carlo] Ancelotti arrives. Good preparation, I play well. But my body, the pain, the injuries."
