Thomas Tuchel has warned his Chelsea players that Eden Hazard will be out to prove a point on Tuesday night. The Blues face Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final. And they’ll be all too familiar with the Belgium international, who spent seven sparkling years at the club.
Chelsea signed Hazard from Lille back in the summer transfer window of 2012, beating Manchester United to the player’s signature.
And he ended up being worth the investment, taking Stamford Bridge by storm during his time there.
Hazard fired Chelsea to two Premier League titles during his spell with the club, establishing himself as one of the best players on the planet in the process.
Since joining Real Madrid, however, he’s struggled.
And Tuchel, speaking in his pre-match press conference, thinks Hazard will be out to prove a point when they lock horns at the Bernabeu on Tuesday night.
