Real Madrid: Ranking the top 10 players before 2019-2020 resumes
1. Real Madrid LW Eden Hazard
Real Madrid’s best player is absolutely Eden Hazard. When he was healthy and fully integrated into the starting XI in the Fall, he was clearly head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch, regardless of the opponent. It’s a shame he never got to add his star power to either Clasico, as Hazard absolutely would have been the difference in the tense 0-0 draw at Camp Nou in December.
Hazard led Los Blancos with 3.9 dribbles completed per game and 3.5 fouls drawn per game last season, per WhoScored.com, and the Belgian superstar also led all wide forwards with 1.4 key passes per game in the 2019-2020 La Liga season.
Well-worth the 100 million euros spent to acquire him from Chelsea, Hazard is indeed a perfect fit for Real Madrid with his work rate, skills on the ball, dribbling ability, ability to draw fouls in dangerous positions, and star factor. You can tell Hazard is special, and he brings a level of fear factor to defenses.

At one point in 2019-2020, Hazard had 30 dribbles completed in four straight La Liga games for an average of more than seven dribbles per game during that timespan. That’s incredible and serves to show how impossible Hazard is to stop when on the ball.
Madridistas can only hope he’s able to stay healthy for the remainder of 2019-2020 and in 2020-2021. He can win this team trophies.
