Neymar is better than Hazard says Real Madrid's Marcelo

Brazilian says he would welcome Neymar at Real Madrid

Real Madrid defender Marcelo has publicly admitted he thinks Neymar is a better player than club’s new signing Eden Hazard.

Speaking during an interview for 'De Sola' YouTube channel, the Brazilian proclaimed:

Hazard is incredible, really good, and is now my teammate at Real Madrid. Everyone knows Neymar's qualities; he's in the Top 5 too. I've known Neymar since his time at Santos. He thinks about doing something on the pitch and at the last second does something else. He's incredible. Comparing them is difficult but for me, Neymar is better."



Real Madrid ended their long pursuit of Eden Hazard last month when they agreed to sign the Belgium winger from Chelsea on a five-year contract for a reported €100 million making him their joint-record signing.

Hazard who wanted to play for Madrid since was a child, hopes to win many titles with the Spanish club.

“I’m really looking forward to playing for Real and winning lots of titles. It was my dream since I was a child to play for Real Madrid and I just want to enjoy this moment,” he said, at his unveiling ceremony.
