Chelsea shootout hero Hazard: My last Stamford Bridge game?

Chelsea ace Eden Hazard was coy over his future after firing his team into the Europa League final.

Hazard struck the winning penalty in the shootout against Eintracht Frankfurt.

He said, "It was hard but when you start the game you think you can reach the final, especially when you draw the first game away.

"We played a great game but the semi-final is not so easy. We are happy and we will go to Baku to try to win the trophy.

"In the first half we were better but then like always this season we conceded after five minutes of the second half.

"It was 50-50 at the end. In the end our character was good and we go through.

"I always take my responsibility when I have to. Today we are happy but it's not finished. We have another game to play against Arsenal. We need to go there and play with quality and win the game."

Asked whether this might have been his last appearance at Stamford Bridge, he added: "I don't think about that. I'm only thinking about winning something for this club and this squad. If it's my last game I will try to do everything for this club to win a trophy. In my mind I don't know yet [if it will be his last game]."
