DBasia.news – The introduction of Eden Hazard at the Santiago Bernabeu by Real Madrid caught the attention of fans who flocked to the stadium. Together with Barcelona, Madrid contributed the most audience categories when introducing their new players.
Real Madrid completed its mission in the transfer market by bringing Eden Hazard from Chelsea. Reportedly, the Belgian national team player came with a tag of 100 million euros.
Hazard’s presence is like an oasis for the Santiago Bernabeu public. Understandably, in the 2018-2019 season, El Real appeared to be struggling since the beginning of the season. Madrid closed the season without winning any titles.
Based on news circulating in Spain, the presence of Eden Hazard drew supporters as many as 50,000 spectators. So far, he is a new player in the era of Los Galacticos volume three with the highest number of attendance.
The number of viewers in Hazard’s presentation to the public was still more than the presence of supporters in Real Madrid’s last four away games. The match was against Getafe (48,364 spectators), Huesca (49,293 spectators), Villarreal (46,294 spectators), and Real Betis (49,889 spectators).
However, Hazard cannot match his predecessor, Cristiano Ronaldo. When coming from Manchester United in 2009, the player made 75,000 visitors present to the Santiago Bernabeu. Until now, this number is still the most in history. Overall, Hazard is in the sixth position.
Meanwhile, the second position is occupied by world soccer legend Diego Maradona. When he arrived at Naples in 1984, Maradona was welcomed by 65,000 supporters.
Barcelona put two players in third and fourth position. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who at that time came from Inter Milan, made 60,000 supporters present at the Camp Nou. Meanwhile, Neymar brought in 57,000 supporters.
The fifth place belongs to Ricardo Kaka when it comes to Real Madrid. The Brazilian came with a neat track record at AC Milan. Not surprisingly, 55,000 viewers were present on the day of his introduction.
