Eden Hazard’s trophy
collection of Premier League, League Cup and Europa League as well as Ligue 1
and Coupe de France medals at previous club Lille is nothing compared to his desperation
to win the UEFA Champions League and he wants the Blues to give it their best
shot on thier return to Europe’s biggest competition.
Chelsea’s sole success
in the Champions League came in the season prior to Hazard’s arrival and the
diminutive forward has been frustrated in his quest for a winners’ medal.
Hazard played his first
domestic match of the season in Saturday’s 2-1 win over Leicester City after
recovering from an ankle injury and is in line to face Qarabag in Chelsea’s
Group C opener on Tuesday.
And the 26-year-old,
who has in the past been linked with Real Madrid, is keen to make up for lost
time.
“This year is really
important. I have reached the semi-final with Chelsea in 2014, when we lost to
Atletico Madrid, so it’s in my head to win this trophy,” he told reporters.
