Eden Hazard is expecting Chelsea to be pushed to the limit by Atletico Madrid in the European Super Cup on Friday in Monaco.

Eden Hazard has admitted that he expects a difficult challenge when Chelsea face Atletico Madrid in the European Super Cup.

Hazard claims that Chelsea must be on top of their game if he is to win his first piece of silverware as a Blues player when the teams meet in Monaco on Friday evening.

"[Atlético] are a great team with great players," Hazard told the official UEFA website. "I hope it will be a good game and that we win, to claim my first trophy for Chelsea.

"But we expect nothing less than a tough match against a great team. It will not be easy."

The 21-year-old has enjoyed an impressive start to his Chelsea career, scoring once and providing six assists in three games.
