Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has heaped praise on Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola. Guardiola helped Cesc at Barca when the Gunners star was a junior and he said: "He has been my idol since I was small, I liked him as a player and person because he has very clear ideas.

"He is intelligent. He was not a super athlete, but his vision and work ethic were exceptional."
