On Tuesday, the much beloved Champions League will resume play, with the remaining teams playing the first of the two-legged round of 16 fixtures.
English Premier League giants Chelsea will reignite their rivalry with Ligue 1 champions PSG, with the two sides having faced one another in the last two consecutive seasons.
Speaking ahead of the game, Blues superstar Eden Hazard opened up in an interview with Le Parisien, handing out what could be perceived as a "come and get me" plea to Laurent Blanc’s side.
The 25-year-old admits in the interview that it would be difficult to say no to the French giants should they show interest in the former Lille midfielder, citing their Champions League title push as a huge appealing factor.
"It’s hard to say no to PSG, as with all teams capable of winning the Champions League. Now PSG are part of this category. And for me, winning the Champions League is the main objective. But for now, I do not dwell on it.”
PSG are favorites, claims Chelsea boss
Hazard, last season PFA Player of the Season, has been in appalling form for the fallen champions this campaign, grabbing only 2 assists and no goals in the Premier League for the London giants.
The Daily Mail reported back in January that Hazard had set his mind on leaving Stamford Bridge at the end of the 2015/16 campaign after a turbulent season with Chelsea, with PSG confident that they are front-runners, though they’ll face competition from Real Madrid and Bayern.

However, in the interview with Le Parisien, Eden revealed his content with the current Chelsea side, and lamented the fact that he has four more years remaining on his current deal with the Blues.
“Everything is possible, yes. But I have a contract that runs for another four years (until 2020). Even if things are complicated this year I am at Chelsea. I’m in a good group that can win trophies every season.”
