Eden Hazard has likely played his last ever match for Chelsea. 

He scored twice, in this morning's 4-1 win over Arsenal in the Europa League final.

With multiple reports linking him with a switch to Real Madrid...Hazard himself finally admitted that the move is almost certain:

"I want a new challenge, like I said after the the World Cup last year. Now its between the two clubs...I'm still waiting like you are waiting...so we'll see in a couple of days. I will always support Chelsea. I dont know if this is a goodbye...but if it is a goodbye...thank you for these seven years"

Spanish reports say Hazard could be unveiled to Real Madrid supporters as early as Monday.

Meanwhile, this morning's Europa League title was Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri's first major trophy, in his first season in charge of The Blues. 

However, it has not stopped speculation that he could be on his way out this summer.

The latest rumours say Chelsea and Juventus are already in talks, about the Italian taking over at the Serie A champions next season.

They topped Forbes magazine's annual list with a value of 4.24 billion dollars... coming in ahead of fellow Spanish giants Barcelona. 

Man United dropped to third, having topped the list for the past two years.

The separate Annual Review of Football Finance, however, has named United the richest club in the Premier League...despite finishing sixth last season.
