Hazard joked about the new rivalry with Barcelona captain Lionel Messi in an interview with the Corriere della Sera newspaper, which sees two of the shortest players in La Liga face off.
“If I had been passionate about basketball, then I’d have been in trouble! In that sense, football is a democratic sport, as talent is not measured in centimeters.”
A calf injury in Messi's first session back prevented him from traveling to the United States.
It's a setback which has forced him to remain in Barcelona and focus on getting fit for the La Liga opener against Athletic Club at San Mames next weekend.
