PSG vs Chelsea – Three Things To Look Forward To

  1. Eden Hazard vs. Thiago Silva

It is going to be a tough night for Paris Saint-Germain after the injuries to Marquinhos and Serge Aurier. Eden Hazard pretty much keeps the whole back four occupied with his movement. So be it the Brazil pair David Luiz-Thiago Silva or the fullbacks, they would have to be on their toes against Hazard. He can hurt any team with his unpredictability and his penetrating runs into the box. Once Hazard enters the box, a defender can’t afford to make contact with him, as he has so proved, that he can be extremely skillful and unplayable when he has the ball at his feet in the opposition penalty area. Hazard though, faces a formidable opponent in Thiago Silva, a proven ball winner and an extremely composed defender. The Brazilian is ideally the only defensive minded defender in the PSG team, and has enough experience and class to read dribblers and track movements. Hazard likes to cut in from the left flank, or drift central from the right. Either way, he’d face a rock of a defender in Thiago Silva and it would be an amazing battle.
