While fans got their first view of their €100 million signing, Hazard discussed his future with Los Blancos and everything in between.
In case you didn’t know…
Hazard’s move to Madrid has been the talk of the town long before the summer transfer window arrived. The former Blues talisman had hinted that he would be staying at Stamford Bridge during the Chelsea Player Awards Ceremony where he infamously responded, “Where’s the pen?” to fans asking him to renew his contract.
By the time Chelsea beat Arsenal to win the Europa League, it was clear that Hazard had changed his mind. Real Madrid has been Hazard’s dream, and to be honest, the dream of many football players. With his huge transfer fee, Hazard joined the league of Madrid’s Galacticos.

Fans are surely excited to see the former Chelsea player join the club as they attempt to improve from last season. In the 2018/19 season, Real Madrid failed to win any trophies after poor performances in all competitions.
What’s next?
Hazard will be looking forward to getting some rest after such a stressful move to Madrid and that hectic presentation. We’ll be looking forward to watching him train with Los Blancos once the season starts.
