It’s been written in the stars. Chelsea will be facing Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final. The Los Blancos vs the Blues. Karim Benzema vs Kai Havertz. Jorginho vs Luca Modric. Vinicius Jr vs Chrstian Pulisic?
The battle of the Eden Hazard replacements, it seems. That’s where the interest piques for me. Vinicius Jr has been sensational this season. It hasn’t taken much to replace Hazard’s position in the Real Madrid ranks due to his injuries, but he has superseded expectations.
Christian Pulsic, to a proposed heir to the throne, hasn’t quite lived up the Hazard name but has definitely given us glimpses of brilliance in the most important moments.
