Fabregas was sensational against Barcelona in the UCL

Fabregas’s desire to leave Arsenal for Barcelona was a daily affair in the newspapers during that time. Wenger was highly irritated by the constant media buzz around the transfer. But Fabregas kept on providing some defining performances worthy of getting a mention.

In the quarterfinals of 2010, Arsenal were 2-0 down at home to Pep Guardiola’s team, when the Arsenal Captain showed grit and determination to get his team going and producing a great 2-2 against the best side in the world.

Fabregas played the second half with a fractured foot and even scored a penalty to keep Arsenal in the two-legged tie. In the 10-11 season, Fabregas and team got a historic 2-1 result against the Spaniard club at the Emirates. Fabregas was at the heart of everything that Arsenal created in both those matches.

Many also say that these two performances made it easy for the Barcelona bosses to g for his signature sooner rather than later.
