Ivan Rakitic, Douglas, and Marc Bartra never had a chance.
The Barcelona trio proved little more than inflatable pylons when tasked with slowing down Chelsea superstar Eden Hazard in Tuesday's friendly match at FedExField. The diminutive Belgian midfielder gave the fans in attendance exactly what they paid to see: ludicrous attacking talent crushing the souls of defenders.
Yes, it's only a meaningless friendly. No, that doesn't make it any less awesome to watch Hazard glide and bounce off defenders like he's on the playground and everyone around him is vastly inferior.
