Eden Hazard may have reignited his form at the European Championships after a disastrous season with Chelsea, but one of his Belgium teammates has done his best to knock the winger's confidence ahead of the Red Devils' Euro 2016 quarter-final with Wales, tomorrow.
Belgium will be coming up against a Welsh team who have been spearheaded towards the last eight by the mercurial form of Gareth Bale, who has three goals to his name in the competition, already. When asked about the Real Madrid man's qualities in comparison to Hazard, Belgium defender Jordan Lukaku deemed Bale to be the better player.
"Bale is for me perhaps slightly higher than Hazard. He's been playing longer at that level.

"At key moments at club level Bale is the man and he stands there, while Hazard is still not consistent."
We're not sure how thrilled Hazard will be to hear that one of his compatriots has openly called him inconsistent and isn't as good as their upcoming opposition's star man.
