Azpilicueta Reveals Drogba, Hazard and Costa Were His Toughest Opponents
Former Chelsea captain César Azpilicueta has revealed the three toughest opponents he ever faced in his career, and one of them is a name Chelsea fans know very well—Didier Drogba.
The Spanish defender recalled his battles with Hazard back when he played for Marseille in Ligue 1 and the Belgian was lighting up the French league with Lille. He also had to go up against Drogba when the Ivorian striker joined Turkish club Galatasaray, and he faced Costa during the Spaniard’s time at Atlético Madrid.
“Well, the first name that comes to mind is Eden Hazard because we were teammates for so many years,” Azpilicueta said. “But before that, when I was at Marseille and he was at Lille, I played against him, and he was already an incredible player.”
On Drogba, he said, “I also played against Didier when he was at Galatasaray and I was at Chelsea. He was a tough striker, so strong and difficult to stop.”
His final pick was Costa, saying, “I faced Diego Costa when he was at Atlético Madrid. He was aggressive, relentless, and always looking to cause problems for defenders.”
Barcelona player Lamine Yamal hits a new milestone as he breaks the world record of goals scored in Europe’s top five leagues.
He earned this title after helping the team to a 3–0 win against Mallorca. Just under the age of 19, he achieved this. He has now passed Kylian Mbappé’s record.
Yamal now has 24 goals, overtaking Mbappé, who had scored 23 for AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain before turning 19 on 23 December 2017.
Super Eagles manager Eric Chelle speaks on player Ademola Lookman’s performance in the AFCON 2025 tournament.
He stated that he truly had an impact on the team and contributed to their wins and defence, but noted that the player later dropped in performance during the quarter-finals.
“He was very good throughout the group phase, so exceptional. However, in the quarter-finals, it is true he started to falter a bit; physically, he is good, but it’s true we felt he was tired.”
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
