Fabregas played alongside four-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi for
three years before making a close-season move to Stamford Bridge where,
alongside Hazard, he has helped Chelsea to the top of the Premier
League.
While the ex-Arsenal captain has been consistently impressive since
returning to the English top flight, Hazard too has been in fine form -
winning and scoring the penalty that helped lead Chelsea to victory
against Fabregas' former club on Sunday.
And Fabregas feels the performances of Hazard will be key to Chelsea's success this term.
"He is the link between midfield and attack for us; he is our Messi
because he makes the difference," the Spaniard told radio station Cope.
"We have a young team but we are very positive about the future."
Much of the discussion prior to Chelsea's 2-0 win over Arsenal had
centred on Fabregas coming up against a club he spent eight years at
before returning to Barca.
After Arsenal passed up their first option to re-sign him, Chelsea
made their move, but Fabregas revealed there was a third party
interested in him.
"I've always played in clubs where I wanted to play. At the end of last season, I saw Chelsea as the best option," he continued.
"I always thought about a return to England and I talked to Mourinho and realised this was the best option.
"It was arranged through my agent. There was no call with
Mourinho, just a face-to-face meeting. Jose showed great respect and
convinced me quickly.
"We were honest, we put aside any history and I made my decision
after talking with him. Overall I had three options in England."
