Hazard Reveals Why He Didn't Want Ronaldo's Iconic Number 7 Jersey
Eden Hazard has explained that he never wanted to take over Cristiano Ronaldo's number 7 shirt at Real Madrid. Despite being handed the iconic jersey, Hazard's time at the club was marked by injuries and inconsistent form. The Belgian international's tenure at Real Madrid ultimately fell short of expectations.
Hazard moved to Madrid from Chelsea in the summer of 2019 for a staggering €100 million (£88m/$112m) fee, arriving just a year after Ronaldo's historic departure. Handed the iconic number seven shirt, the Belgian international faced monumental expectations to fill the statistical and emotional void left by the Portuguese superstar. However, Hazard's time in the Spanish capital was ultimately plagued by recurring injuries, fitness struggles, and inconsistent form across four underwhelming seasons.
