Eden Hazard left several interesting quotes in a chat with former Chelsea teammate John Obi Mikel on the 'Obi One Podcast'. The Belgian revealed which player he thought was better between Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo but named a midfield legend as the greatest player of all time.

Several professional players have been asked which player they consider to be the best in history. Most of the time the answer is usually simple: Cristiano Ronaldo or Leo Messi.

Former Chelsea and Real Madrid player Eden Hazard was asked about this issue by his former Blues teammate John Obi Mikel on his podcast 'Obi One Podcast', in which the Belgian revealed that in his opinion the Argentinian is better than the Portuguese.

"For me Messi is the one. Messi is the one if you talk about football. But then people they have different opinions on that though, Ronaldo is the goat to score goals and to bring trophies to the team,' he said.

However, the Belgian international does not consider either to be the best ever for him, but Zinedine Zidane, who was his coach during Hazard's tough time at Real Madrid. "Me, I am more my style of play is Messi, but for me the greatest is Zidane," he revealed.
