Eden Hazard is officially a Real Madrid player after being presented at the Bernabeu.
Thousands of fans flocked to welcome the Belgian following his stunning £130m transfer from Chelsea .
Hazard outlined his plans to become the best player in the world, admitting it had been a dream of his to join Real since childhood.
His arrival is likely to push Gareth Bale further down the pecking order after he found himself out of favour under Zinedine Zidane last season.
A host of clubs have reportedly been sounded out about the possibility of signing Bale, with Manchester United among them.
But United rejected the opportunity to hold talks with Real, leaving Bale's future uncertain ahead of next season.
Hazard is Real's first Galactico signing since Bale arrived from Tottenham in 2013.
And while he was welcomed by Real supporters at the Bernabeu, Bale was keeping busy himself.
Bale uploaded a picture from the 18th hole at Pebble Beach where this year's US Open is being held.
"Can't wait for the US Open to get started. Pebble is such an awesome place, as long as you drive it well," he posted.
"Cheering for all the #TeamTaylorMade guys this week, especially Dustin Johnson."

You can't hate him, soccer is business field, investment and gambling. There's no retirement funds so they should make a lot of money as long as they can. Same with others sport like boxing, badminton and others, and they should retired when they still bright star, if they late they will become nobody and some country doesn't appreciate veterans, old athletes etc.
