Eden Hazard: Following 'Historic' Cristiano Ronaldo as Madrid No. 7 'Isn't Easy'

Real Madrid forward Eden Hazard has said it is "not easy" to follow in the footsteps of the club's former No. 7 Cristiano Ronaldo.

Hazard joined Los Blancos in the summer from Chelsea, having earned a reputation as one of the best players in the Premier League.

While he's shown flashes of his world-class talent in the early weeks of his Madrid career, as yet he's been unable to regularly reach the standards he set for the Blues. He's only netted one goal for his new club in the 2019-20 season.
