Hazard’s celebrates Chelsea’s Europa League success
After a quiet first-half, Chelsea sparked into life when Olivier Giroud stooped low to head in the opener.
Then Hazard stole the show, setting up Pedro for the Blues’ second, before scoring from the penalty spot and linking up with Giroud for a superb second.
That looks set to be his last ever Chelsea goal – and the club have reportedly already agreed a fee with Real Madrid.
According to The Sun, Chelsea will receive £100m with a possible further £15m in add-ons, with Hazard signing a four-year deal worth a basic £400,000 a week.
