'Goodluck' - Prayers for Vini Jr as he is set to wear Ronaldo's iconic no 7 at Madrid

Real Madrid has officially unveiled the official numbers for its playing body for the 2023/2024 season.

The changes see Vinicius wear the number 7 jersey left vacant by Hazard. The jersey number had been worn in the Merengue club's glorious past by Cristiano Ronaldo and Raul.

The Brazilian wore the number 20 jersey before this new change.

The number 11 jersey made vacant by Marco Asensio will be worn by the youngster, Rodrygo.

The number 20 jersey, left vacant by Vini, now belongs to Fran Garcia, Madrid's new left-back. He was officially presented with his new shirt at the Bernabeu on Monday morning.

The changes have left a bitter-sweet taste in the mouth of Madridistas. See how they reacted.
