Eden Hazard was branded the 'most overrated player in the world' in an extensive Twitter thread after he left Chelsea for Real Madrid in 2019.

The 30-year-old Belgian winger was widely praised for his scintillating form for Chelsea and impact in the Premier League.

Hazard lifted two Premier League titles, two Europa League trophies, an FA Cup and the League Cup during his seven years at Stamford Bridge.

The former Chelsea star completed a sensational move to Madrid in 2019 for an initial fee of £89m, though it could exceed £150m through various add-ons.

However, Hazard has been marred with injuries during his time with Los Blancos and speculation continues to mount over his long-term future at Madrid.

One fan produced a Twitter thread in an attempt to debunk claims that Hazard could be considered a world-class footballer.

The thread breaks down different stats from Hazard's seasons at Chelsea and spotlights how he might not have been as influential to the Blues' success as many fans would claim.

Hazard, who is under contract until 2024, is currently sidelined with a knee injury and is expected to return this month.

The Belgium international has made 13 appearances across all competitions for Madrid this season and only scored three times.

Ex-Atletico Madrid star Filipe Luis recently claimed that Hazard 'lacks ambition' to become the best player in world football right now.

However, the 35-year-old Flamengo left-back named his former Chelsea teammate as one of the top three players in the world alongside Neymar and Lionel Messi.

Real Sociedad winger Adnan Januzaj has backed Hazard to turn his fortunes around in Spain and become a hit for Madrid.

The 26-year-old former Manchester United player also insisted that his Belgium teammate is "one of the best footballers in the world."

Speaking in an interview with La Liga, Januzaj said: "Maybe people here in Spain do not know Eden well enough, but they will.

"For me, he is one of the best footballers in the world. I have no doubt."
