Chelsea ace Eden Hazard says Barcelona star Leo Messi stands alone as the best player in the world.

Hazard insists Messi is superior to be he and Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Not a chance. There is only one that is the best ever. It's him, Lionel Messi," Hazard told HLN.

"The two games against Barcelona were not my best memories from 2018.

"I was happy to play against Barcelona and Messi, but I did not deliver."
