Eden Hazard was thrilled to have been given the chance to captain Belgium.

The Chelsea star, 24, wore the armband in Sunday's 4-3 friendly win over France in Paris in the absence of Vincent Kompany.

Hazard was making his 57th international appearance for the Rode Duivels and netted his eighth goal, converting from the penalty spot in the 54th minute as Marc Wilmots' tuned up for Friday's Euro2016 qualifier with Wales with a narrow win over the fast-finishing Les Bleus.

Very proud to be the captain today... Well done belgium. #tousensemble#FRABELpic.twitter.com/LtfPaBuBgU — Eden hazard (@hazardeden10) June 7, 2015
