Eden Hazard believes Chelsea's win over Atletico Madrid last night was their best in the Champions League since he joined the club.

Chelsea came from behind to beat Diego Simeone's side at Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, with Michy Batshuayi scoring the winner in the last minute.

Hazard joined Chelsea the summer after they won the Champions League in 2012. Their most noteworthy victory in the competition since then was beating Paris St Germain 2-0 in the quarter-final two years later.

However Hazard feels the victory over Atletico, who have reached two finals and a semi-final in the last three years, puts all his previous European victories with Chelsea in the shade.

When asked if Chelsea's triumph was the best of the season so far, he told Chelsea TV: "Yes, but in the Champions League also.

"Since I came here, I think it is the first time we have beaten a really good and strong team in the Champions League.

"We did well. There were not just a few moments, it was from the first minute to the end of the game. That means we are a good team and have good players.

"We should have scored more than two, but sometimes it's good win at the end, the feeling is very good."

Chelsea because the first English team to beat Atletico Madrid at their home ground (including Vicente Calderon) and are now in a strong position in Group C after two wins from their first two matches.

It looked like their superiority wouldn't be rewarded when David Luiz conceded a first half penalty which Antoine Griezmann converted, but Antonio Conte's men struck back through Alvaro Morata and Batshuayi after the break.

Luiz was delighted with the team's response following his error, but was keen to add a note of caution.

He said: "It was a great performance. We controlled the game against one of the best teams in the last few years in the Champions League.

"We showed character, were calm and didn't lose our passion or style of football when we went 1-0 down.

"Yes I did a foul to stop him (Lucas Hernandez), I pulled his shirt and in the rules it is a penalty but if the refereee gives this he has to give many.

"We have four more games to play in the group and if we get to 12 points, that should be enough for us to qualify.

"Our next two Champions League matches are against Roma, but lets go game by game and keep our feet on the ground because it is never easy in the Champions League."
