Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho insists Eden Hazard outperformed Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo last season.
Ronaldo finished the campaign with the European Golden Boot.
But Mourinho says: "Football without titles is nothing. I don't like players or managers to win individual trophies without the team.
"Would I put Eden above Ronaldo? Last season, yes. In spite of the fact that Ronaldo was fantastic. He scored an incredible number of goals.
"Eden is coming with big status now and was voted one of the top ten players in Europe last year. In my opinion he should be in the top three not in the top 10.
"I think he is the best player in our country. The best player in England. You (the English media) voted him too, the best player in the English Premier League.
"Being that the Premier League is the top competition in the world, I think he is among the top players.
"But he has to be better and I told him that. How? By repeating these (POTY) trophies and he needs a good Champions League.
"The normal tendency is for people to find another star. To find somebody new to get these individual trophies. But he has all the conditions to improve."
