Cesc Fabregas: World Cup-winning former Chelsea and Arsenal midfielder retires

Fabregas joined Barca's La Masia academy aged 10 in 1997.

Having progressed through the La Liga giants' youth set-up, he played 212 Premier League matches and won the FA Cup with Arsenal between 2004 and 2011 before moving back to Barcelona.


Following three years at the Nou Camp, he returned to the Premier League in 2014 with Chelsea, where he played just under 200 games.

He made 68 appearances in three and a half years with Monaco but his playing time was limited by injuries, before he moved to Como.


Fabregas won 110 caps for Spain and also won the European Championship twice, in 2008 and 2012, either side of lifting the country's first World Cup in South Africa.

"From my first days at Barca, Arsenal, Barca again, Chelsea, Monaco and Como, I will treasure them all," he continued.

"From lifting the World Cup, the Euros, to winning everything in England and Spain and nearly all the European trophies, it has been a journey that I'll never forget."
