Belgium has a squad that is packed to the rafters with talented players. I mean, just look at the frontline for instance. They have Romelu Lukaku, Dries Mertens and Eden Hazard leading the line! To back them up, in midfield, there is the inimitable Kevin de Bruyne, Tielemans, Mousa Dembele, Alex Witsel, Leander Dendoncker and Nacer Chadli.

In goal, they have Thibaut Courtois and in defence, there is the ever reliable duo of Toby Alderweireld and Vertonghen in addition to players like Thomas Meunier and Vincent freaking Kompany.

And Eden Hazard steals the limelight. We all know that the diminutive Belgian is a special player. Though Hazard didn't exactly have the kind of season he'd have wanted, his contributions have still been of utmost importance to the Stamford Bridge outfit.

He has scored 17 goals and provided 7 assists across all competitions in the 2017-18 season and has been Chelsea's best performer. What's even better news for the Belgian national team is that Hazard has sprung to life towards the fag end of the season.

If Belgium go on to win the World Cup, Hazard will undoubtedly be at the heart of it.
