EDEN HAZARD wore the No50 shirt on his Real Madrid debut and against Arsenal to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing.
The former Chelsea star played 45 minutes in the 3-1 loss to Bayern Munich on Sunday before Vinicius Jr replaced him after the break.
On July 20, 1969 Neil Armstrong stepped on the lunar surface and proclaimed that he had taken "one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind"
Against Arsenal on Tuesday night, Hazard was again seen wearing the same shirt number - this time on the navy away kit.
Hazard, 28, is yet to pick a shirt number as Luka Modric has refused to vacate his treasured No10, while the Belgian is unwilling to take over the legendary No7 jersey donned for nine years by club legend Cristiano Ronaldo.
Therefore, the former Blues star decided to mark his Los Blancos debut with a bang - wearing the No50 shirt to honour the Apollo 11 mission.
On July 20, 1969 an estimated 650million people watched Neil Armstrong step on the lunar surface and proclaim that he had taken "one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind".
Armstrong, alongside other astronauts Michael Collins and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, then returned to Earth four days later, splashing down off Hawaii.
