Even when they are not the players putting the ball in the back of the net, somehow they still get involved in every move going forward. Who of the two can be dubbed the assist king?

Ronaldo racked up 34 Premier League assists during his time in England, an average of 0.17 a game. Hazard has 51 Premier League assists so far, an average of 0.21 a game.

Again, Hazard has played more games, but the Belgian has significantly more assists than Ronaldo and a higher assists per game average.

This brings to light the difference in player mentality as well. Ronaldo will always look to go for goal while Hazard will try to produce something special leading to a goal. He has an unselfish nature and looking at the stats of the two assisting prowess, it’s easy to see who’s the best passer and who’s the better shooter.
