#1 Ballon d'Or Ambition
Over the past few years, the Belgian star has repeatedly stated his intentions of winning the biggest individual prize in football, the Ballon d'Or.
With Messi and Ronaldo ageing, a window of opportunity may soon present itself to Hazard to take home the top award. Unfortunately for Hazard, a Premier League player is unlikely to win the Balon d'Or anytime soon.
The winner nearly always plays in the Spanish League, a fact that Hazard himself has acknowledged. La Liga remains ahead of the Premier League in terms of quality, and it tends to be home to the best players in the world.
A Spanish based player has won the award every year since 2009, and if Hazard has serious dreams about being acknowledged as the world's best player, he will need to move to the Spanish capital and battle it out with Messi and Barcelona.
