Ex-Chelsea forward Eden Hazard has stated that Liverpool legend Mo Salah is a better player than he was.
The Belgian international was asked by SportBible’s TikTok channel to identify former teammates by their FIFA avatars when he made the comment.
Of course, Liverpool supporters on X agree with Hazard’s remarks, and they believe it should put an end to any arguments about who is the best player:
He knows ball well🙌
