Antonio Rudiger, a new Real Madrid signing, has expressed his opinion on teammate Eden Hazard at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Rudiger, who played alongside Hazard at Chelsea from 2017 to 2019, described the Belgian as "one of the best players in the world."
The pair have reunited at Real Madrid, with Rudiger joining the club when his contract at Stamford Bridge expired this summer.
Rudiger voiced his joy at being reunited with Hazard on Real Madrid's official website, and expressed his belief that the offensive midfielder will soon return to his greatest form at the club.
"I'm really glad to be back with Eden, now at Madrid," the defender remarked, as quoted by CaughtOffside.
"I know he's had a difficult few years with injuries and issues, but I still hope Madrid fans can see the Hazard I played with because he was unquestionably one of the finest players on the planet."
