Liverpool fullback Robertson: Hazard and Adama have ripped me apart

Liverpool fullback Andrew Robertson recalls being given a lesson by Eden Hazard when the Real Madrid star was still with Chelsea.

The Scot has been an almost ever-present as the Reds won the Champions League last season and have followed that up by moving to the verge of the Premier League title in the current campaign.

"When I was at Hull I played against Hazard when he won the player of the year, and he ripped me apart at Stamford Bridge," said Robertson when asked to name his toughest opponents on the new episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast.

"It's a game I never thought I'd recover from but luckily I did."

Robertson then namechecked Wolves' Adama Traore as another tough opponent, even though Virgil van Dijk can deal with him.

"Traore this season ripped me apart, to be fair," he continued.

"I think he could give most Premier League defenders a 15 yard start and he would win the race.

"Big Virg and him had a great race, to be fair. Big Virg has just got his big long legs."
