Eden Hazard didn't hesitate when asked who's better between him and Liverpool forward Mo Salah

Eden Hazard has finally settled the debate as to who was the better player between himself and Mohamed Salah.

Hazard and Salah are both two of the Premier League's finest talents to have graced the division over the last decade.

The former Chelsea man won two top-flight titles in England and also has two Europa League successes to his name.

Talented Egyptian Salah has also claimed silverware with Liverpool, with a Premier League title and a UEFA Champions League winners medal to his name.

Both players have been praised for their abilities with Hazard recently asked who was superior overall.

Asked by SPORTbible, who the better player between the pair has been, Hazard said: “Mo Salah, by far.”

The former Belgium international was then asked if he could ever see, from their time together at Stamford Bridge, that Salah would reach the heights he has.

Hazard responded: “He was good already, you know, but that good? We played when he was playing in Basel. So we played Champions League the year before and then we were like, ‘Wow’.

“And then we bought him like, ‘Yeah, we have to. We have to buy this guy because this guy is so good’.

“And then, you know, in football you have ups and downs and then what he did with Liverpool is like, ‘Wow’.”

In terms of impact on the game, it is hard to disagree with Hazard's opinion on the matter.

Having moved from Chelsea in a deal said to be worth in the region of £150 million, the now 33-year-old opened up on his troubles in Spain.

"I think I was a bit unlucky with that period with Covid, because if you want to know the real story, I went to Dallas to do the surgery on my ankle then I came back to Madrid and it was Covid," he began via The Obi One Podcast.

"I had two to two-and-a-half months of Covid, me at home alone, no physio to do the rehab. I did my rehab alone.

"If I had to choose one thing to change I should have said to the doctor, 'Bring a physio, I need a good rehab'. I have to do [it] because I want to play at the highest level. "And then when the Covid finished, we came back on the pitch, I pushed my body like crazy but my ankle was not the same and then I break everything the season after and then you know the story."
