Hazard joined Chelsea shortly after they won
their first Champions League title in 2012 but the London side
have not won the competition since.
It came close in the 2013-14 season but lost to Atletico Madrid
in the semi-finals.
Chelsea failed to qualify for the Champions League in the last
campaign and as they prepare to return to Europe's elite
competition this season, the Belgium international is hopeful
that his team can seal the trophy.
"Yeah, this year (to win it) is important... I have only got to
the semi-final when we lost to Atletico Madrid. So it's in my
head to win this trophy," the 26-year-old told British media.
"I have won the Premier League and the title in France. Now all
the big players want to win the Champions League."
Hazard played his first game for Chelsea this season in
Saturday's 2-1 league win over Leicester City, after recovering
from an ankle injury sustained in June.
"It was a good test (against Leicester). I'm just happy to be
back," Hazard added.
Following their Champions League encounter, Chelsea host London
rivals Arsenal in the league on Sunday.
