Soccer's GOAT debate is often framed as a two-way battle between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
But Zinedine Zidane is the greatest of all time in the eyes of Chelsea legend Eden Hazard.
Former Belgium captain Hazard - who scored 110 goals in 352 games for Chelsea between 2012 and 2019 - recently appeared on The Obi One Podcast.
While on the show, Hazard was asked by ex-Blues teammate John Obi Mikel: "Who is the GOAT? Ronaldo or Messi?"
Hazard replied: "For me, Messi is the one. Messi is the one, if you talk about football. But then people have different opinions.
"Ronaldo is the GOAT to score goals, to bring trophies to the team. This guy is... wow. Look at him now, he's 39. He is going to score goals until 50, believe me, 50!
"But my style of playing is Messi. But for me, the greatest is Zidane."
Ronaldo netted the 875th goal of his senior career last week. He now plays in Saudi Arabia with Al Nassr, but more than half of his goals to date were scored for Real Madrid between 2009 and 2018.
Zidane played for Cannes, Bordeaux, Juventus and Real Madrid during his club career but his two most memorable matches both came at international level.
