De Bruyne and Yaya Toure at their peak were both one of the best midfielders in the Premier League at that time. Recently, Hazard talked about the difference between the two in an interview.

Hazard: "De Bruyne is one of the best midfielders in Premier League history. But facing De Bruyne, you can still snatch the ball from his feet, but facing Yaya Toure is not possible. I also like his temperament as if he was left alone. He is like a bulldozer and is in a state of no way."
