Cesc Fabregas, one of the most iconic midfielders in Premier League history, has expressed regret over his decision to leave Arsenal for Barcelona.
The legendary Spanish playmaker spent 8 years with the Gunners and was named captain during his tenure at North London.
In 2003, he left for La Blaugrana’s rival team but quickly returned to England 3 years later as Arsenal declined their first option to buy him back.
During his time with Barca, Fabregas scored 35 goals in 129 appearances, however, he struggled to secure a regular midfield role due to Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets being at the top of the hierarchy.
Reflecting on his move, Cesc admitted that he may have waited too long to join Camp Nou and spoke of how the lure of success influenced him.
On Saturday night, Fabregas showed what had always made him so popular among fans by expressing glee as Arsenal staged a late comeback against Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium.
Reiss Nelson also made an impact off the bench as Unai Emery’s side staged a thrilling 3-2 win.
