The Belgium international forward is held in the highest regard by a Watford playmaker who will be going head-to-head with the Blues star on Sunday
Chelsea forward Eden Hazard only sits behind Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the global pecking order because he is “unselfish”, says Watford midfielder Will Hughes.
“The reason he’s not talked about like Messi and Ronaldo is because he’s unselfish, he’d rather pass it to a team-mate, which people don’t notice as much.
“They’re a quality team with great players, so we have to be on our game 100 per cent, but we know we’ve got good players as well who can hurt them.
“They’ve got pressures themselves, they want to be in the top four so they have massive things to play for, but we do too and we’re going to go there and treat it as a big game.”
Hazard and Chelsea have worked themselves in the Champions League places.

48 goals 19 assists compared to 19 goals 13 assists and you saying Messi is more selfish? Dafoq who is the better passer in Messi and Hazard? Who has more key passes, who has more assists? You can't compare hazard to even Ronaldo or Neymar not to talk of Messi.

well Messi is also unselfish.....he has more assist too than hazard.....still he wouldn't have scored equal to Messi and Ronaldo. hazard has less talent than Messi and less determination than ronaldo

hazard has wasted his time at Chelsea which is why he's not appreciated. Look at him with Belgium he's clearly better than messi and ronaldo at international level. The main difference between him and messi at club level when it comes to assists is messi passes the ball to quality players who hands him assists and hazard passes the ball to average players therefore its hard for him to register assists. When it comes to goals he's said it himself he would rather create chances for his teammates than himself. In short he's potentially a world best limited by the team he plays for. My opinion though.

here we go again Messi and ranaldo are impossible to replace or replicate because of the skills , tricks and brilliance they demonstrate during every game they play and comparing them to dragba is underating their talents respectively cuz the things ranaldo and Messi can do with a ball is crazy . now drogba was the past but ranaldo, Messi, neymar,harzard,griezman, mbape, aguero,Salah ,mane these players are the present not drogba,he was a average player but harzard has outshine him an az for comparison of all the league's in eny league ranaldo or Messi go to they will always be successful and they have club trophies to prove it

UNSELFISH. aghhh please. no no no no no ..what bum hurt HAZARD lover wrote that sh*t. Oh no sorry! hazard is great but unselfish is not one of them. I refuse to beleive hazard could ever be near messi or ronaldo based off the fact that his goal ratio isnt that amazing in comparison to when messi amd ronaldo was his age. The titles hes won are not even half of what messi and ronaldo have won..and thats in Champions league alone. So really its up to him Not messi and ronaldos selfishness. that's disrespectful to EVERY goal and Assist they've made for every respective team THE GOATS HAVE PLAYED FOR. F*ck outta here MAN
