Football transfer rumours: Eden Hazard trying to fill Cristiano Ronaldo's shoes at Madrid
Eden Hazard moved to the LaLiga giants in the summer of 2019 from Premier League side Chelsea, and he has started playing on the left flank, traditionally occupied by Cristiano Ronaldo for almost a decade. When asked about him replacing Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid, Eden Hazard stated that when he goes out on to the pitch, he does not think about the fact that Cristiano was there before him and that he had to do better than him. He accepted that he would not be able to score more goals than Cristiano Ronaldo, that's for sure, but he will try to bring what he knows he can do. In fact, the difficult thing when he arrived was that he got injured two or three days before the first league match and he was out for four weeks and that delayed his preparation.
