Eden Hazard will take on the No. 7 shirt in his first season at Real Madrid, the club announced on Friday.
The Belgian wore the No. 50 in the pre-season, but will now take on the number that Cristiano Ronaldo wore during his time at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Mariano Diaz wore the No. 7 last season in Madrid's first campaign after Ronaldo's move to Juventus, but the striker has now switched to the No. 24 to give Hazard the famous shirt.
