Good on him for saying all that.

Wenger's been very important in his development so it's good to see him pay that deal of respect.

What a joke!

Arsenal will truly now start to fall into pieces, because big players will see this, and will not want to join them for trophies, only younger players to develop and then leave to a bigger team.

I think Fabregas made a mistake that left the Arsenal where he was the star and leader of the team. I guess that his career will go on down and Barcelona

I think he will start slowly replacing the ageing Xavi, so he might be a future star of Barca

Yet hardly a figure that was at Arsenal. This club is built it and made him a star, and he spat at them in person.

He wasn't the first and won't be the last. You can hardly blame him though, can you Arsenal never looked like winning anything, he probably got a taste of success by winning the EC and WC with the Barca squad and never looked back on the dry ol' gooners who flopped miserably even in their own competition this summer and sign third league players.

May be right in that the lack of a trophy that has led to his decision, but he stopped at least 3 years wants to move to Spain even though it was the main pillar of the team and all Arsenal fans adored him. It was pretty obscene act on his part.

Am I the only one put off by players kissing badges?

Fabregas will obviously not be an immediate starter, but what he does, is maintain the core of Barcelona.

So far their core is Xavi (31) & Iniesta (27). And soon it will be Fabregas (24) & Thiago (20). It makes sense..

Another great game going on here, 1-1 and lots of attacking from both sides, more-so Real Madrid it had to be said. These 2 legs are far better than the UCL ones.

real madrid looking great this year.

Took me awhile to even realize Villa was playing today.

Fabergas and Sanchez on the bench, christ.

Barca's jersey is hideous. It's even worse than Chelsea's black one.

Messi.................................................................................................the rest.

2-1. Messi the magician

These 2 Barcelona finishes have been nothing short of exquisite. Wonderful football from a simply wonderful team.
