Witsel: Hazard can join Ronaldo & Messi with Real Madrid move

Axel Witsel hopes Belgium teammate Eden Hazard gets his move to Real Madrid.

The 28-year-old has said goodbye to Chelsea after seven years.

And BVB midfielder Witsel thinks Hazard can prove his class at the Bernabeu.

"Of course [Hazard] is that good," Witsel told Sky Sports News.

"Eden is the type of guy who is always relaxed. He doesn't think too much [about his future].

"He's just come here today. We spoke about everything but not about a transfer to Real Madrid because that is just Eden.

"For me, as a player, he is one of the best with Cristiano (Ronaldo), (Lionel) Messi and Neymar.

"If he goes to Real Madrid - and I hope so for him - he is going to show that to everyone."
