Eden Hazard's claim that he ranks higher than Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of "pure footballing ability" has attracted fan outrage.
Eden Hazard's recent comments comparing himself to Cristiano Ronaldo have sparked a flurry of reactions from fans and observers alike. The Belgian international, who retired from football after a challenging stint with Real Madrid, claimed he was a better "pure footballer" than Ronaldo, despite acknowledging the Portuguese superstar's incredible accomplishments and stature in the sport.
Hazard's assertion, as previously reported, is based on belief in his own talent and style of play, distinguishing himself from Ronaldo's record-breaking career filled with titles and individual awards.

Reactions to Hazard’s claim
One fan said, “He went to Real Madrid to replace Cristiano Ronaldo and failed to achieve 2% of what Cristiano Ronaldo achieved with Real Madrid. Cristiano scored more goals with his head than Hazard's total career goals. The only thing Eden Hazard is better than Cr7 at is eating burgers.”

Another said, "Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player ever in Real Madrid’s history. Eden Hazard is the biggest flop ever in Real Madrid’s history. There’s a clear difference, buddy.”
“In terms of pure footballing ability, Hazard or whatever the name of the guy is honestly not even close to Nani,” a third added. “Hazard said pure football, for someone that cannot play free kicks, corners, score goals, assists and just drives ball while blocking the opponent with his ass. Premier League hype really got into his head. He wasn’t half the player Bale was,” a fourth added.
