[VIDEO] Eden Hazard back at his best provides assist for Mbappe's dad with amazing flick in charity game
Only a week after announcing his retirement from professional football, Chelsea legend Eden Hazard was back on the pitch, showing his incredible abilities.
The 32-year-old called time on his football career after struggling with injuries at Real Madrid. However, before his failed stint with the Los Blancos, the Belgium international was one of the most exciting wingers in the world, and he reminded the football world of his skills today.
What happened
Hazard, along with some other football legends, were in action this Wednesday at Stade de l'Epopee to help raise funds for children and teenage patients at Pieces Jaunes Hospital.
The 32-year-old, according to a report by TalkSport, played for Varieties CF against Team Calais and lined up alongside former Barcelona star Ludovic Giuly and ex-Arsenal's Robert Pires in the attacking line.
Behind them were Didier Deschamps, Claude Puel, and Yohan Cabaye in midfield, while Christian Karembeu, Daniel Van Buuren, Laurent Blanc, and Mathieu Debuchy made up the back line.

The headline-grabbing moment, however, was when he assisted Kylian Mbappe's father Wilfred who came off the bench, for Varietes's sixth goal of the game.
Hazard flicked the ball to the 53-year-old Cameroonian, who dummied the goalkeeper before firing the ball into the net.
