When Zinedine Zidane returned to take charge of Los Blancos for a second time, the team needed huge reinforcements.

Real Madrid were clearly struggling in front of goal and they were humiliated in all competitions by the likes of Barcelona, Ajax and even by most clubs in La Liga. Even after Zidane returned, he couldn't prevent further downfall and Madrid ended their league campaign with 12 losses.

There was no doubt that the Spanish giants needed major reinforcements and Zidane made his intentions clear to revamp the squad immediately. Zidane was promised signings when he returned at the Santiago Bernabeu and the arrival of a Galactico like Hazard fulfills that promise.

It goes without saying that Zidane's predecessors - Julen Lopetegui and Santiago Solari - had fewer options and ammunition at their disposal. The arrival of Hazard will be a major boost for Hazard as the former Chelsea talisman is enjoying the peak of his career. Moreover, Zidane has openly spoken of his admiration for the Belgian skipper.
