For club and country, the 33-year-old featured in 80 games with Lukaku, racking up nine joint goal participations along the way.
Now though, with another European Championship around the corner, the former Chelsea and Real Madrid attacker has shared his thoughts on who he considers to be some of the best players in world football right now.

In a recent video shared on the talkSPORT TikTok channel, Hazard was asked to share who he thinks the best player is right now for a variety of different countries.
When asked who he feels the best Belgian player is, Hazard picked Kevin De Bruyne ahead of Lukaku.
De Bruyne vs Lukaku
Since joining the Manchester club from Wolfsburg back in the 2015 summer transfer window in a deal worth a reported fee of £54m, the midfielder has scored 102 goals and supplied 170 assists in 382 appearances across all competitions.
In comparison, in 321 combined Premier League appearances for Manchester United, Chelsea and Everton, the striker has scored 144 goals and delivered 41 assists.
In 47 appearances for Roma this season, the 31-year-old scored 21 goals in total, showing how much of a capable striker he still is.
With that in mind, while it may not surprise most City fans, the fact that Hazard picked De Bruyne as the best Belgium player over the likes of Lukaku shows just how much he admires his former national teammate.
