Incredible moves often occur on social media and end up becoming trends. Like in this case, where fans of Boca Juniors were responsible for making the long-awaited arrival of viral Eden Hazard to Xeneize. It is worth remembering that the Belgian star on some occasions had winks towards the team from La Ribera and especially towards Juan Román Riquelme, who at the time sent him an autographed shirt and the current player of real Madrid thanked him.

Boca fans started the song in Twitter and got the hashtag #HazardABoca trending in Argentina. Of course, there was no shortage of montages of Hazard in the current blue and gold jersey. But beyond the excitement, fans clung to some background information about the 31-year-old attacking midfielder, who is no longer a regular with the team. meringue and this season he has only played six games, with one goal and one assist.
It was in 2019 when Hazard posted a story on his profile Instagram in which two photos appeared, one of him doing the Top Gigio celebrating a goal for Chelsea and another of JRR, the day he immortalized him after converting his penalty goal in the victory in the Superclásico in the 2001 Clausura Tournament. When Román found out, he sent him his autographed jersey.
