FootballEden Hazard: Chelsea Legend Dazzles in Skills Challenge Against YouTube Star
- Eden Hazard showcased his skills yet again after his retirement
- The ex-Lille star called it quits last year at only 33 years of age
- He featured in a skills challenge with YouTuber, Celine Dept
Eden Hazard's early retirement last year came as a shock after the Chelsea icon chose to hang up his boots before his 33rd birthday.
His move to Real Madrid in 2019 did not turn out as expected due to constant injury issues and the rapid rise of Vinicius Junior, who kept him out of the team.
After leaving Los Blancos, the Belgian chose to quit football altogether despite interest from various clubs.
In his retirement, the two-time Premier League winner has continued to show he still has the same skills that saw him dominate English football for seven years.

Last year, Sports Brief reported that Hazard provided five assists and scored a goal in a charity match in France.
Eden Hazard shines in skills challenge
In his latest display of skills, he teamed up with YouTuber, Celine Dept, for a series of challenges. The former Lille winger won in every category.
The duo started with the crossbar challenge, with Hazard's effort hitting the inside of the bar. They then placed the ball on the byline and attempted to score from that angle.
The other challenges included top-bins, first-touches, and flinching while defending. The clip finishes with Hazard hilariously hitting Celine on the head with the ball.
