Roy Keane didn’t hold back on slating Eden Hazard’s performance against FC Barcelona as Chelsea lost 3-0 on the night and 4-1 on aggregate to the Catalonian giants to crash out of the Champions League, as per The Mirror.
Chelsea had numerous chances to score, including Hazard having numerous opportunities, as well as Marcos Alonso striking the post and having a penalty appeal.
Lionel Messi scored a brace while assisting Ousmane Dembele to send Barcelona into the quarter-finals, while Manchester City and Liverpool will be representing England in the competition.
But Chelsea, with crashing out, were under scrutiny from Roy Keane who tore into Chelsea star Eden Hazard.
The Manchester United hero said (via The Mirror):
He can be very, very good but to me there are just too many off days where he’s just not up to it.
If you’re trying to compare him to Messi – he’s way behind him.
Messi and Ronaldo have been doing it year after year. They always seem to be fit. They play 50 or 60 games a season and they produce week in, week out.
These other players that we are talking about don’t.
So Roy Keane didn’t hold back on Hazard, but the Belgian and Chelsea have to fight to try and qualify for Europe’s elite competition for next campaign, sitting four points behind fourth-placed Liverpool.
