Eden Hazard keeps showing why he is considered as one of the best players in the Premier League. Today, Chelsea's gem and the winner of the 2014-2015 PFA Player of the Year award gave his team the lead against FC Barcelona with a magnificent slalom, which he finished off in style during the more than anticipated clash between the Premier League holders and the current La Liga champions.
Hazard picked up the ball well into Barcelona's side of the pitch, and dribbled past three Blaugrana defenders before finishing the play with a right-footed strike.
Chelsea v Barcelona has been so far one of the best pre season games; Eden Hazard is a freak of nature. https://t.co/0TlrkfZTu8

Hazard's balance is absolutely unreal man. He's nearly Messi level in that regard.
