Cesc Fabregas has appeared to hint at his frustration at failing to win the Premier League with Arsenal as the Chelsea midfielder discussed winning the title in 2015.
The Spain international came close to title glory with Arsenal on a number of occasions but Arsene Wenger’s side fell short of their biggest rivals Chelsea and Manchester United.
Fabregas opted to leave Arsenal despite being their captain in 2011 and completed a return to his boyhood club Barcelona in search of regular silverware.
However, the 29-year-old returned to the English capital in 2014 but as a Chelsea player after Jose Mourinho paid £27m for the talented midfielder.
Fabregas played a key role in the west London side’s title success as the midfielder helped the Blues to storm to the 2014-15 Premier League crown and finally end his long wait for top-flight glory in England.
Speaking to Chelsea’s website about winning the title with the Stamford Bridge outfit, Fabregas discussed the emotions surrounding his title failures with Arsenal.
“The day we won it, I remember I just went on my knees,’ Fabregas recalls, picking out a highlight from his now 300-strong Premier League appearances. He is still only 29.
“It was such a big relief. I remember I had competed a lot of years, sometimes we were close, sometimes not so much, but I really tried to give a lot everywhere I have been in the Premier League and to finally achieve it was one of the best moments in my career.
“You can win a World Cup or a Euros, which is maybe the best a player can win, but when you’ve been trying to fight for a trophy for so many years, when you came close sometimes, you gave so much and fought so much for it and in the end it happens, it was personally a big achievement.”
