The forward wasted no time in picking Eden Hazard, immediately siding with the former Chelsea man.
Hazard spent eight incredible seasons at Stamford Bridge, making 352 appearances and scoring an impressive 110 goals.
He helped the Blues win two Premier League titles and two Europa League trophies as well as the FA Cup and Carabao Cup.
The Belgian lit up the Premier League with his brilliant dribbling and will go down as one of the most exciting players to have ever graced England’s top flight.
Despite leaving Chelsea for Real Madrid, he’s clearly still fondly remembered with everyone associated at the club.
