Eden Hazard has finally given his verdict about whether he is better than Mohamed Salah.
The debate between whether prime Hazard is better than Liverpool's Egyptian star has been an enduring conflict among football fans on the internet.
Despite Salah's glittering achievements in the Premier League, many rivals fans, most notably Chelsea supporters, have held a strong conviction that Hazard at the peak of his powers was a better player than Liverpool's no.11.
This a notion Liverpool fans vehemently oppose and they will point to Salah's glittering statistics in the league, which has made him one of the best players in the competition's history.

Eden Hazard opens up on Mohamed Salah debate
There is no denying Hazard was a fantastic player in the Premier League. However, when it comes to legacy, he pails in comparison to Salah, who has dominated England's top flight for close to a decade.
Now speaking at an event for the launch of EA FC's latest game, the former Real Madrid star revealed to Sports Bible that he believes Salah is the better player.
'Who is better you or Mo Salah?' the reporter posed the question on Sports Bible's TikTok page.
'Mo Salah,' Hazard replied emphatically.

And with those two words, he ended a debate that has raged on for many years on social media.
With Hazard himself viewing Salah as the better player, Liverpool fans have all the ammunition they need in order to prove their point to those rival fans who still hold the contrary conviction.
Salah is simply head and shoulders above most Premier League attackers. He will leave an enduring legacy in the league and at Liverpool as well.
And based on the way he has started the current campaign, he still has much more to give. Although the decision to keep him at Anfield hinges on a contract renewal.
