Centurion Hazard perfectly primed to lead Zidane's new Real Madrid era

There will be nothing ceremonial about Eden Hazard’s 100th cap when Belgium line out against Cyprus at the GSP Stadium on the outskirts of Nicosia in their second game of Euro 2020 qualification. There is work to be done for Roberto Martinez’s side.

Cyprus were matchday one winners against San Marino – racking up five unanswered goals – meaning the Red Devils are trailing in the Group I at this early stage. Being ranked No. 1 in the word, however, means Belgium are expected to emerge top of this section convincingly. A tricky first challenge against a resilient Russia was overcome in trying circumstances.
