Chelsea Legendary Winger Eden Hazard Inducted Into The Premier League Hall of Fame—-Eden Hazard has been inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame, with the Chelsea legend becoming the 26th recipient of the individual honour.

Hazard joins six other Blues legend like John Terry, Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, Petr Cech and Ashley Cole in receiving the award. The Belgian played his football at Stamford Bridge from 2012 until 2019, where, in the Premier League, he made 245 appearances, scored 85 goals, provided 54 assists and lifted two titles.

The now 34-year-old was named the Premier League’s Player of the Season for his role in Chelsea’s 2014/15 triumph, where Hazard scored 14 goals and provided 10 assists in 38 appearances across the course of the campaign. Hazard also played a starring role as the Blues lifted the league title under Antonio Conte in 2016/17, where he scored 16 goals and recorded five assists.

Hazard has been speaking about what it means to him to receive the highest individual honour awarded by the Premier League. He said: “For a small Belgian guy from Braine-le-Comte just playing football for fun, being inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame with these great players at 34 years old is incredible.

“My dream was to play at the highest level and I did it, so I am really happy. Week after week, you have big games, and at the end of the season, you lift a trophy with your teammates. It’s a beautiful feeling.

“When you score goals, when you win trophies, you just want more. I am proud to know I did a few good things for seven years in the Premier League.

“We don’t play the game alone, so this is for all the people who have supported me – my family, my teammates and the fans, my friends – this is for us all.”

Jose Mourinho, who led Chelsea to the 14/15 Premier League title where Hazard played such a crucial role, said: “Eden, many congratulations on joining the Premier League Hall of Fame.

“Everybody knows that you belong there. You are one of the most amazing players that I ever worked with and of course you have to be there. You are in the Hall of Fame so now you stay in our memories – and by the way, thank you so much for helping me win my last Premier League title!”

Hazard joins Gary Neville, who was inducted over the weekend, and the pair will be formally honoured at the 2025 Premier League Hall of Fame event on Tuesday, November 4. All inductees receive a medallion engraved with their name and the year of their induction, along with a £10,000 donation made by the Premier League to a charity of their choice.

The Chelsea icon is the latest in a long list of legends already in the Hall of Fame, including: David Beckham, Dennis Bergkamp, Eric Cantona, Thierry Henry, Roy Keane, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Alan Shearer, Sergio Aguero, Didier Drogba, Vincent Kompany, Wayne Rooney, Peter Schmeichel, Paul Scholes, Patrick Vieira, Ian Wright, Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Tony Adams, Petr Cech, Rio Ferdinand, Ashely Cole, Andy Cole, John Terry and Gary Neville.

BREAKING: Vinícius Rescues Brazil as Morocco Hold Selecao to Thrilling World Cup Opener—-Morocco stunned the five-time champions with an early breakthrough before Vinícius Júnior’s moment of brilliance earned Brazil a hard-fought 1-1 draw in Group C.

Brazil were forced to settle for a point in their opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after a spirited Morocco side held the South American giants to a 1-1 draw in a captivating Group C encounter at MetLife Stadium.

The Atlas Lions struck first in the 21st minute when Ismael Saibari latched onto a perfectly weighted pass from Brahim Díaz before calmly lifting the ball over goalkeeper Alisson Becker to give Morocco a deserved lead. The African side’s intensity and organization troubled Brazil throughout the opening stages.

Brazil responded through their star man Vinícius Júnior, who produced a moment of individual brilliance in the 32nd minute. The Real Madrid winger drove into the box and unleashed a powerful finish beyond Yassine Bounou to restore parity and ignite the Brazilian supporters.

Despite enjoying more possession after the break, Brazil struggled to break down a disciplined Moroccan defence. Morocco, meanwhile, continued to threaten on the counterattack and arguably created the clearer opportunities in the closing stages.

The result leaves Group C finely poised, with both teams earning a valuable point in what was billed as one of the most anticipated fixtures of the opening round. While Brazil avoided an early setback thanks to Vinícius’ heroics, Morocco once again demonstrated why they remain one of the most dangerous sides on the international stage.

BREAKING: PSG Retain Champions League Title After Penalty Shootout Victory Over Arsenal—-French champions edge Gunners 4-3 on penalties in Budapest to secure back-to-back European crowns.

Paris Saint-Germain successfully defended their UEFA Champions League title after defeating Arsenal 4-3 on penalties following a 1-1 draw in the final at Budapest’s Puskás Aréna. PSG became only the second club in the modern Champions League era to retain the trophy in successive seasons.

Arsenal made the perfect start to the final when Kai Havertz fired the Premier League champions into an early lead in the sixth minute, giving Mikel Arteta’s side hope of winning the club’s first-ever Champions League title.

The holders responded in the second half, with Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembélé converting a penalty in the 65th minute after a foul on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, bringing PSG level and setting up a tense finish.

Neither side could find a winner during the remainder of normal time or extra time, forcing the final into a dramatic penalty shootout. PSG held their nerve from the spot, while Arsenal defender Gabriel missed the decisive penalty, blasting his effort over the crossbar.

The victory caps another remarkable European campaign for Luis Enrique’s side, who reached the final after eliminating FC Bayern Munich in the semi-finals and entered the showpiece as defending champions.

For Arsenal, the defeat is a heartbreaking end to an otherwise historic season. Arteta’s men arrived in Budapest having won their first Premier League title in 22 years and reached their first Champions League final since 2006, but they fell just short of completing a memorable double.

PSG’s triumph further cements their place among Europe’s elite, while Arsenal will be left to reflect on a campaign that brought domestic glory but ended in European heartbreak.
