Mariano Diaz has officially taken over the iconic No.7 shirt left by Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid.
Real Madrid have pubblished a video via their official Weibo account, from which we can see Mariano Diaz will wear No.7 shirt in the new season.
This browser does not support the video element.
The former Lyon player who was on the verge of signing for Sevilla, is now officially a Real Madrid player.
The Spaniard, who enjoyed a fine season in France where he scored 21 goals in 44 matches, arrives as the man to revitalise Julen Lopetegui's attack.
The striker now inherits one of the most important shirts in Real Madrid's history: the number '7' which was vacated by Cristiano Ronaldo this summer.

Asensio deserves to wear the no.7 I am not even sure if diaz is gonna stay for long Madrid will just bring the best out of him and make him sit on the bench, and probably after a season or two , he is gonna be sold to EPL club for 50-55 million 💶.

Giving him no. 7 jersey won't make him C.Ronaldo or a legend. I don't think it's a wise decision by Real Madrid. Maybe they forget the history of their no.7's. It is only deserved by legends as it is a legendary number. I would be happy if they give it to Isco rather than M.Diaz.

as a football fan i know fore a fact any number can be given to any player no matter the position they play, and as a football fan i've known certain numbers are like crowns to be given to playerz that proved themselves fit to wear it. in this case real has shown the lack of respect they have for their lengends. Mariano can be given the number 7 but he should've proven himself worthy to have, not just to be given to him. what sort of disrespect is that???

But hows that matter ... CR7 will always be a legend wherever he goes & he will always be the top scorer for Madrid ... I don’t think the club means any disrespect... if there was any ... they would take him off the books completely & not put him in hall of fame ... this dosent mean anything acc to me ... I think somebody has to take the number ... why not Mariano ... if It was hazard or Neymar it still wouldn’t be justice till they actually score & contribute as much as CR7 has for the club

Worst decision by mariano and real madrid ;NO7 jersey of real madrid is an iconic number wore only by legend of the club ;i feel so sad to read about this latest development .....Mariano should ask antonio valancia and michael owen of manchester united what happen to them when they inherit ronaldo's NO 7 jersey at manchester ;just look at sanchez now.....Bale was there ;why not him ;bale knew of the huge expectation from NO7 in real madrid.....Mariano we not last this season

Madrid why? this guy wouldn't be able to live up to the expectations cos the shoe is too big for him....right now he's gonna start feeling so much pressure...and Madrid just humiliated CR7...they shouldn't treat their legends that way...and I stand corrected but I feel UEFA didnt give ronaldo the player of the year award cos he left Madrid!

Lepetegui thinks because Mariano scored 21 goals in in France he will do same in Spain... he was playing with Evian... Guingang... Metz and he score 21 goals and you think he will swinggle pass Seville... Valencia... Atlectico or Barça defence... this is night and day... French league is a nursery... anyway... I know by January you'll loan or sell him to China...

The shirt should've been retired for at least 3 seasons. Pathetic for an unknown name to be dawning it.

Mariano is the new Ronaldo. He is going to help Madrid win champions league for the next three seasons if I am not mistaken

Good luck Mariano. In as much as I agree we should have retired his jersey for sometime,it was not your decision. Be yourself. Don't be under any pleasure because no player in the world can play or be like Ronaldo. Welcome back home MR7.

I will forever hate Florentino Perez. that old fool is just bad luck. his time is up!!! he has no shame and no gratitude. other clubs honor their key players and this fool treats the CR7 Legacy as if it was just nothing. #ScrewYouPerez

The legend, the greatest Madrid player ever, I don't think he also showed Madrid fans enough respect when he that he made up.his mind to play for Juve because of the way the Juve fans responded to his bicycle goal at Turin.
