A decade after presenting Kaka, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid hope to give Eden Hazard an even bigger welcome.
The Belgian will be presented to Madrid's supporters at the Bernabeu on Thursday evening at 19:00 CET so that more fans are able to attend.
Real Madrid want to present all their new signings in a grand manner, but they want Hazard's arrival to be something special.
The amount of interest in Hazard's signing leads you to think that he'd be able to fill the Bernabeu at his presentation, or at least come close.
Ronaldo attracted 70,000 fans for his presentation and the aim is to surpass that for Hazard.
Luka Jovic will be presented at the Bernabeu on Wednesday before he leaves to play at the European Under-21 Championship with Serbia.

with it doesn't matter Ronaldo still is who he is an irreplaceable legend ....It's obvious if Perez had the chance to bring Ronaldo back he would definitely do that..Hazard is a very good player energetic and is capable of accomplishing as many tasks as possible but he can't replace Ronaldo that's the simple truth..

They didn't give the farewell to their best player in history but they are welcoming someone with great pride. Madrid knows how to welcome players but they don't know how to give farewell to their legends. #Can't wait to see Ronaldo destroying them when they play Juve in UCL...

Now I confirm that Perez is really obsessed by Ronaldo. What he fails to understand is that Ronaldo came to Real Madrid after having won the ballon d'or the previous season, he had been the premier league golden boot and all in all a brand that Nike was advertising. Tall, handsome, robust and a genius of a footballer.... Talking of trying to make Hazard's presentation better is just sad coz it's all based on Ronaldo's. Remember, Hazard is 28 n when he plays for 2-3 good seasons almost like Gareth Bale, u will leave through the back door n the so-called preparation n welcome u had will all be a memory. When results won't be coming, the fans at the Bernabeu will forget the presentation n boo you. Time will tell.... don't forget that wearing the no 7 shirt will all be a comparison to the great CR7 n Hazard will always be in his shadow!

There's no better player than Cristiano in Real Madrid's history but sadly they didn't give the farewell to Ronaldo he deserves. Trust me,Hazard can give some fresh football to Madrid in playmaking but he can't give the goals that Cristiano used to give..

@benardeschi do know Hazard isnt bought to replace cr7? he's a totally different player, he isnt at real madrid to score 50 goals a season, he will score maybe 20 and assist another 15-20, thats it. he will be great but you cant expect him to play like Ronaldo, no one can replace ronaldo so real madrid is not even trying, hazard is the best real could get as their star man, he can turn up in big games too. so cut your bullshit and enjoy Hazard he is a great player and will entertain everyone, and as far as goal scoring is concerned Real madrid has got Jovic and Benzema are their, the team is good enough just stop complaining, go see Juventus matches if you're so obsessed with ronaldo
