   Eden Hazard believes Lionel Messi will be dangerous against Chelsea in the Champions League
 Messi has been superb this season for Barcelona but he has never scored against Chelsea Belgian star Eden Hazard has stated clearly that Argentine forward Lionel Messi will be the player to watch out for when Chelsea and Barcelona clash in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 ties.Chelsea and Barcelona will go head to head next week in the Champions League first leg knock out stage, and Hazard has hailed the performance of the man who has never scored against the Blues.
Hazard explained that the Spanish club will not be missing Neymar because of Lionel Messi's superb performances for the Catalan giants.

Lionel Messi
 "You know Barcelona have a guy who is not from this world considering the way he plays on the pitch."He's different, a super-class, but this is not about one player, it is about the whole team and not about Messi."This season we are not the same as last season, of course, and they are very good but in the end it is a cup tie and you never know what happens. "That's why we love football. I'm pretty sure we can beat them if we play together. We'll see." Hazard told Marca.

 Chelsea will face their much heralded opponents Barcelona in the last 16 tie of the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League, and as usual, the two games will be tough. The Champions League rivalry between Chelsea and Barcelona actually began in the year 2000 when the Blues defeated Barcelona 3-1 at Stamford Bridge even though they had met three times before this encounter on April 5, 2000.
