Fans have reacted furiously on Twitter after learning Eden Hazard’s shockingly low Ballon D’Or ranking.

France Football revealed on their Twitter account on Thursday afternoon that the Belgium international had been voted into 19th place for the 2017 Ballon D’Or. No, we’re not joking – nineteenth.

On current form Hazard is comfortably one of the top five players in the world. Not only has he been in stunning form since Antonio Conte opted to shift him into a central position this term, but he also played a starring role in our Premier League title triumph last time around.

N’Golo Kante received the majority of the media adulation, and he was phenomenal throughout the course of the campaign. However, Hazard stepped up time and time again when his side needed him the most and dragged us over the line – just as he did in 2014/15.

It does not appear as though his counterparts in the football world were taking any notice of what Hazard did for us last term, as has been reflected in his bizarre ranking.

Chelsea fans are NOT happy. Here’s how some of the Blues faithful, and even rival fans, reacted on Twitter to the news.

Hate how much bias there is towards Barca/Madrid players. If Hazard belonged to any of these clubs he’d make top 5 minimum and that’s a fact

What an absolute disgrace, he’s 100% top 3 in the world. Complete biased system. https://t.co/BH65xHPhRr

Apparently 18 players have been better than the man who was the main reason why Chelsea won the title this year https://t.co/EHftZePzyo

You people don’t understand football, Eden Hazard is top 7 at his worst and top 2 at his best https://t.co/tlbIrh50me

This is disgusting to be honest. Find it hard to name 5 better footballers than Hazard let alone 18. Griezmann will be ranked higher uno. https://t.co/uSmHaG8LAK
