Chelsea great Hazard the big star in charity game

Former Chelsea and Real Madrid attacker Eden Hazard was the star in a charity game on Friday.

Hazard hung up the boots in October at the age of 32.

On Friday, the winger took to the field for the first time since that bombshell in the name of charity, along with other stars such as Roberto Carlos, Ricardo Kaká, Claude Makelele, Didier Drogba and David Villa.

And the former Chelsea star was the best afield, scoring a great goal and giving a wonderful assist to David Villa.

The initiative, which aimed to raise funds for educational projects in Palestine, Sudan, Mali, Rwanda, Tanzania and Pakistan, raised more than $8.85 million.
