Chelsea star Eden Hazard insists that he is "different" to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, despite being regularly compared to them.

Chelsea star Eden Hazard has spoken about comparisons made between himself and multiple Ballon d'Or winners Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Over the years, the playmaker has been mentioned in the same breath as the duo, but has not quite reached the heights of the pair.

So far in his career, Hazard has won three league titles - one in France and two in England - but he is yet to be successful on the European stage.

Ahead of tomorrow's Champions League last-16 clash against Barcelona, the Belgian was asked by reporters about the comparisons to Messi and Ronaldo, to which he replied: "First it is good to be compared with the greatest ever, but I am different.

"I try to do my job and reach my level to their level because they are the best in the world. If you want to be one of the best you have to play well in the big games."

Hazard has also played down speculation surrounding his future.
