Chelsea lifted the Europa League trophy at the tail end of last season after defeating London rivals Arsenal 4-1 in the final played in Baku.
Eden Hazard contributed only 2 goals and 1 assist to that campaign, missing a significant chunk of the Blues matches. The Real Madrid winger has however been named the Best Player of that Tournament, ignoring the sizeable contributions of Olivier Giroud who recorded 11 goals and 5 assists in that same tournament.
Fans have taken to Twitter to express their displeasure…
