Eden Hazard could collect two individual awards this weekend, but he admits collective success in the Europa League would mean more.

The Belgian has been nominated for both the PFA and PFA Young Player of the Year awards, alongside in the senior category Chelsea team-mate Juan Mata, Liverpool's Luis Suarez, Manchester United's Robin van Persie and Michael Carrick and Tottenham's Gareth Bale. In the younger age group, he is alongside Bale, Arsenal's Jack Wilshere, United's Danny Welbeck and Belgian compatriots Romelu Lukaku (on loan at West Brom from Chelsea) and Christian Benteke of Aston Villa.

'In France I was voted the best player by other players, which was a big honour,' Hazard said. 'It is good for me, but it is not so important. It is very nice to be nominated, but I am just happy to play well this season,' he continued, 'but maybe we can win in the Europa League, which would be more important.

'It is about the team, not individual personal performances. Players want to win trophies, and so the Europa League would be better, and hopefully we can be back in the Champions League next season.

'Juan is nominated also and he played very well this season, scoring and making assists. For me he has been our best player.

'On the young list there is Lukaku and Benteke, the Belgians! Whoever wins I will be happy for them, but like I said, the team winning is more interesting to me.'

He was watching Reina all the time, he didn't even look at the ball when nearing the spot and the kick. He cannot miss with this technique. Awesome.

I prefer Lampard's technique though. Blast it. For instance, if Hazard get's it wrong like vs Nordsjaelland, then it's an easy save for the keeper but in Lampard's case, the power of the penalty alone is enough sometimes even if he get's his direction wrong

Lampard vs Neuer - Neuer positioned himself well but it was past him before he could react

Have you guys noticed when he snakes around or dribblings horizontally across the pitch he is almost impossible to tackle? I wish he would do it more often when is he far down the flanks, if he dribbles horizontally in the box it always seems like to A) set up a good pass, B) set up a good shot for him, or C) result in him gettting fouled in the box.

Its actually amazing how much better hes gotten as the season has gone on. Hes so confident with the ball at his feet now, and its ridiculous how easily he dribbles around 3 or 4 defenders at times.

Whats more amazing is hes only 22 and hes been our clear cut best player this season.
