Eden Hazard’s Chelsea troubles gather pace as Real Madrid links intensify

Eden Hazards Chelsea troubles gather pace as Real Madrid links intensify [Papers]

One of the big pre-match talking points is centred on Eden Hazard, after the Belgium was surprisingly left out of Chelsea’s side in the 2-0 win over Aston Villa last weekend.

Jose Mourinho has since explained that Hazard was dropped for defensive work-rate reasons, and in the build-up to the Kiev challenge, the Special One has reiterated that he needs more production from one of his star playmakers.
The whole saga is a major downturn for Hazard, whom Jose Mourinho not so long ago compared to the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo.
The splashes of a handful of Tuesday’s papers carry warnings for Hazard, who is told he need to shape up to lock down a first team place with the Blues.
While Hazard continues to receive negative headlines, the Mirror also reference the 24-year-old’s activity on Instagram on Monday, as the Belgium ‘liked’ a post linking him with Real Madrid.
Could Hazard actually leave Stamford Bridge for the Santiago Bernabeu?

Neymar powers injury-hit Barcelona to clean sheet win at BATE

Three quick thoughts as an injury-hit Barcelona ease to a 2-0 win at BATE Borisov in Tuesday night's Champions League Group E matchday three clash. 1. Neymar + Rakitic = two goals and three points Two beautiful goals from Ivan Rakitic, and two lovely assists from Neymar, were enough to bring Barcelona a welcomed 2-0 win, and keep last year's Champions League winners in firm control of Group E. Barca had lots of the ball in the first half, but made few clear chances, and the game was still scoreless at the break.
