Eden Hazard came off in the 70th minute on what was a terrible evening for Real Madrid, as they were beaten 3-0 by Real Madrid, as per WhoScored.
Marca have now reported that the reasoning behind this was an injury concern for the summer signing, via Real Madrid Info:

The evening could have been remembered so differently for the Belgian, as he was inches away from scoring his first goal for the club with an effort from outside the box, as shown in the highlights video on the BT Sport YouTube channel.
This doesn’t count for anything though, and it seems that after playing a total of 101 competitive minutes for Real, some of the club’s fans are beginning to give up on him.
There had already been reservations about the 28-year-old, with Diego Torres Romano having reported that he was 7kg overweight when he joined the club.
A selection of Twitter reaction to the update, including posts from dismissive Real Madrid fans, can be seen below:
