Salah, De Bruyne overlooked as ex-Chelsea star reveals toughest opponent

Ryan Bertrand has called Chelsea legend Eden Hazard the toughest opponent he faced on the pitch.

Bertrand recently retired from football after a successful career that saw him win the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and FA Cup with Chelsea.

The left-back, who was known for his speed and endurance, came up against some of the finest wingers in the game.

The 34-year-old faced Eden Hazard, Leroy Sane, Arjen Robben, Mohamed Salah and more.

However, the ex-Southampton man believes Hazard was the toughest opponent he ever played against.

Speaking to TalkSport, he said: "I’d probably say Hazard was my toughest opponent.

."Playing against Hazard was probably a tough one because of his low centre of gravity."

Eden Hazard's electrifying seven-year spell at Stamford Bridge cemented his status as one of the most thrilling players in Chelsea's history.

Between 2012 and 2019, his mesmerizing dribbling, skill, and goal-scoring prowess were instrumental in the Blues' success, as he contributed an impressive 110 goals and 85 assists in 352 appearances.
