Hazard stated: “In games like this against a quality opposition, it’s difficult. You do not get a lot of balls. I think I might have touched 25 balls – and 15 of them were flying toward my head!

“That’s not really playing with my qualities. I have won some aerial duels – hey against Gerard Pique! I think it is not bad, my man. If I had to choose, I prefer to play like I did in the last 10 minutes, but it’s the manager who has the final word.
