This summer, leaving London's "Chelsea" and moving to Madrid's "Real", Eden Hazard was recognized as the best player of the last season of the UEFA Europa League.
The Belgian helped the "aristocrats" last season not only to advance to the tournament final, but also scored two goals in it and led the team to victory, which allowed the "Chelsea" team to return to the Champions League this season.
Indeed, those two goals in the final were the only ones scored by E. Hazard last season in the Europa League. In 8 games played, the Belgian also made two assists, one of them in the final.
In the battle for this award, E. Hazard surpassed his former teammate Olivier Giroud and Luka Jović, who shone in the "Eintracht" team last season.
