The Belgian completed a high-profile transfer from Chelsea to Real Madrid in June 2019, receiving the prestigious No.7 jersey from club president Florentino Perez. Hazard was widely seen as the heir to Ronaldo, the club’s most prolific goal scorer. However, his tenure in the Spanish capital was marred by injuries, resulting in just seven goals and 12 assists.
In an interview with L’Equipe, Hazard contributed to the ongoing Messi versus Ronaldo debate, acknowledging Messi as possibly the greatest individual player in history. While expressing admiration for Barcelona’s former star, Hazard suggested Neymar could rival Ronaldo’s impact on the field. Despite recognizing Ronaldo’s stature, Hazard asserted that, in terms of playing style, he didn’t consider himself inferior. He also praised Real Madrid’s other exceptional players like Benzema, Modric, Kroos, and De Bruyne.
While Messi and Ronaldo continue to excel with Inter Miami and Al-Nassr respectively, Hazard announced his retirement from professional football at 32 years old in October 2023. Throughout his time at Madrid, Hazard faced criticism for his fitness and recurrent ankle injuries, which affected his performance on the pitch.
Ronaldo remains Real Madrid’s top goal scorer, netting 450 goals in 438 matches during his tenure. He secured a total of 15 trophies with the club, including four Champions League titles and two La Liga championships.
