Watford star Will Hughes believes Eden Hazard's unselfishness is the reason for the Chelsea winger not being considered at the same level as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
The 28-year-old is generally considered as one of the best and most exciting players in the Premier League, and he has often carried the Blues this year when they have been struggling throughout the campaign.
Hazard has netted 16 Premier League goals and added 13 assists throughout the season and he will be looking to add to that tally in the final two matches of the season.
Hughes is a big fan of Hazard's but he believes the reason he is not considered on the same level as the big two of world football is due to his style of play.

"His [Hazard’s] agility and the way he moves the ball so quickly in tight spaces is different class. Sometimes you have to just admire him,” said Hughes to the official Watford website.
"The reason he’s not talked about like Messi and Ronaldo is because he’s unselfish, he’d rather pass it to a teammate, which people don’t notice as much.
"They’re a quality team with great players, so we have to be on our game 100 per cent, but we know we’ve got good players as well who can hurt them.
"They’ve got pressures themselves, they want to be in the top four so they have massive things to play for, but we do too and we’re going to go there and treat it as a big game."
