Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard claims he wants to face either FC Barcelona or Real Madrid in the Champions League Quarter Finals so that he can go up against Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Belgium star has been superb for The Blues this season and is one of the main reasons why they are top of the Premier League, and throughout the campaign, he has been comparing himself to both Messi and Ronaldo, and now he has the chance to face one of them, he wants to take that opportunity so that he can see just how close he is to their level.
The draw for the Champions League Quarter Finals takes place tomorrow and with most people wanting to avoid to big La Liga duo, Hazard is actually hoping that his side can be drawn alongside them.
“For me, for a young player, it’s very important to test myself against Ronaldo or Messi,” Hazard said. “Just to be on the pitch with them would be good and I would try to do well.
“It’s an aspiration for me to be as good as Ronaldo and Messi. I watch a lot of games they play in and I try to be on the same level.”
Chelsea beat Galatasaray in the last-16 and will be joined by only Manchester United from the Premier League after they produced a stunning comeback to see off Olympiakos.
