      And there was one Bernabeu baller whose smile beamed even brighter than that of the Portugal legend as he posed for a host of pictures.
      Rodrygo posted  he was “meeting my biggest idol” as he shared a snap of the pair on Instagram.
      The Brazil winger, 22, joined Real a year after Ronaldo, now 37, left for Juventus.

      And his next task is to persuade the footballing world he’s not moved to Riyadh just for the money.
      Ronaldo’s Manchester United contract was terminated during his poor World Cup, due to a tell-all interview with Piers Morgan on TalkTV.
      And the first test of his current form is likely to come on January 19.

      Carlos’ fellow countryman Vinicius Junior and Eder Militao each joined Ronaldo for thumbs-up photos.
      And Real too, joined in the spirit of the occasion.

      Despite being fit now, Hazard is out of favour under manager Carlo Ancelotti.
      He has only featured three times in LaLiga this season for Los Blancos.
      And to make matters worse, he struggled to help Belgium during their disastrous World Cup campaign in Qatar, after which he retired from international football.
      Madrid have wanted to move the 32-year-old on for the last couple of years but have struggled to find any takers for the high-earner.

      Now, Hazard and his two agents will go to the LaLiga side to try and sort out his options and come to a decision, according to The Athletic.
      The report suggests that Hazard does not want to leave the club during the season, so talks will wait until next month.
      The former Chelsea star is believed to be able to earn £13.2million a season with his contract at Madrid.
      The high salary means that club president Florentino Perez knows a sale or a loan will be very hard to arrange.

      Borussia Dortmund are understood to have told all interested parties they are prepared to do  business — if the majority of Bellingham’s valuation is paid in one hit.
      And with a fee in the region of £130m being quoted, any serious buyer will have to come up with a huge down payment.
      It has made a top-four finish vital for Liverpool, while United know they need the same after slipping down the pecking order of go-to clubs for players in recent seasons.
      With Bellingham’s wages expected to be in the region of £300,000 per week and a hefty signing bonus, Dortmund expect their stance to flush out the serious bidders.

      The Bundesliga side have to factor in a five per cent sell-on clause to the England midfielder’s former club Birmingham, agreed as part of the deal which saw them sign the teen for £22m in 2020.
      There is growing feeling in Germany that Madrid and City lead the race for the 19-year-old, due to their financial clout.
      City could raise around £75m if Bernardo Silva is sold at the end of the season, while Ilkay Gundogan is also in the final six months of his contract.
      Despite Madrid’s strong links to Bellingham, boss Carlo Ancelotti recently distanced his side from a swoop.
