Eden Hazard has been hailed as a better player than Cristiano Ronaldo, by his manager Jose Mourinho.
The Blues boss who worked with his compatriot at Real Madrid for three seasons, told Daily Mail: “Last season, yes. In spite of the fact that Ronaldo was fantastic; he was fantastic. He scored an incredible number of goals.
“I am not saying he is not fantastic. I am just saying that, in my personal view, every football player in the world should understand that a team has to be in front and no titles.”
Hazard, who signed for Chelsea in 2012, scored 20 goals in all competitions last season for the Premier League champions and was voted the PFA and Football Writers’ player of the year.
On comparing the 24-year-old with Lionel Messi and Ronaldo, Mourinho added: “obviously it depends on the season they have. They have to win some titles, no? Football without titles is nothing. Messi won the treble.
“He won three competitions last year, he reached the Copa America final. He had a fantastic season for him and for his team. I don’t like players or managers to win individual trophies without the team.”
Ronaldo failed to win the Champions League or any domestic trophies in Spain last term.
