David Luiz and Gonzalo Higuain were caught mocking Eden Hazard’s body fat during their Europa League celebrations after Chelsea’s victory over Arsenal on Wednesday evening.
Hazard scored twice during the final in Baku as Maurizio Sarri’s side sealed a 4-1 win over Unai Emery’s men.
But during the celebrations inside Chelsea’s dressing room after the match, the Belgium international was at the centre of the jokes.
During Willian’s live video on Instagram, the Brazilian caught Luiz grinning as he lifted Hazard’s shirt to pinch his body fat, while Higuain, who has also been criticised over his weight this season, was patting the Belgian on the stomach.
Hazard appeared to take the incident in good humour as he was giving an interview to Chelsea TV at the same time.

‘Hey, respect me,’ Hazard told Luiz and Higuain as they interrupted the interview.
‘Respect the privacy, this is privacy.’
Meanwhile, Hazard has indicated that he has played his final game in a Chelsea shirt as he waits to complete his summer transfer to Real Madrid.
In his post-match interview to BT Sport, Hazard said the Europa League final was his ‘goodbye’ to Chelsea’s supporters, but when he spoke to French television, the Belgian admitted he was keen to play against Chelsea for Real Madrid.
Asked by RMC if he could see himself facing Chelsea next season in the Champions League, Hazard replied: ‘I hope so.
‘Just as I hope to come up against [my former club] Lille, who are also in the Champions League. It’d be great.’
