Zinedine Zidane can field a diamond system by placing Isco in more advanced position than the other three midfielders and putting Benzema (or Luka Jovic) and Hazard up-front.

The Madrid boss can use Isco in a free role to roam, as he has successfully done it before in the finals of 2017 UEFA Champions League, when Real Madrid thrashed Juventus 4-1 in the finals at Cardiff.

Yes, it is almost impossible to replicate what Ronaldo has done for Real Madrid over the years, but Hazard has got all the potentials to replace Ronaldo in that line up and create another chapter in the already illustrious history of Real Madrid.

It will also mean that Hazard will have less of a defensive work to worry about because of the compact nature of Real Madrid midfield. Which in turn will help Madrid to counter if Benzema can link up well with the Belgium sensation.
