Qarabag 0-4 Chelsea: 5 Talking Points

#1 Hazard ready to take Europe by storm

Eden Hazard is getting back to his best

Chelsea's midfield maestro Eden Hazard is said to bracket himself alongside the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Neymar and others. Today, when he was at the forefront, Hazard did deliver, indicating his evolution into a talisman whom Chelsea could look up to this season.

The Belgian wizard ignited the rout with a neatly dispatched penalty in the first quarter of the tie, before turning into a provider for Willian with a cheeky backheel that left the fans floored. Also, it was for the first time in his career that he scored and assisted in the same Champions League game, following up the brilliant performance at West Brom this past week.

Despite injuries blighting his start to the new campaign, Hazard has hit the throttle quickly and easily. The rich vein of form has helped him pull off a string of amazing showings which has in turn, benefited Chelsea in a way that they are once again in the Premier League reckoning as well as the Champions League.

But if they are to go all the way, Hazard is the key. And on current evidence, he's ready to take every challenge by storm.
