Fab Hails win over Barcelona
Cesc Fabregas believes that
Arsenal have beaten the
greatest team in the history
of football, following their
2-1 win over Barcelona at
the Emirates Stadium.
The two sides met in the first
leg of the last 16 of the
Champions League on
Wednesday night, and the
Gunners went behind to a
David Villa goal in the first
half before sensationally
coming from behind to snatch
a victory.
Robin van Persie scored
from a tight angle after 78
minutes to put the game back
on level terms, while
substitute Andrey Arshavin -
who had come on for Alex
Song - scored the winner
five minutes later.
And despite the victory, the
23-year-old midfielder is
keeping his feet on the
ground, insisting that the tie
is not over yet.
"They don’t lose many
games," Fabregas said,
according to The Mirror.
"They are the best side in
football history, in my
opinion.
"But we have only played
half of this tie. It ’s a nice
compliment to us, but that’s
all. We have closed the gap
on them from last year. We
are one year older, we have
less injured players."
