Cesc: Chelsea now playing better than Spain and Barcelona

Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas says they're playing the best football in Europe. Fabregas believes he is playing the best football of his career - and puts his scintillating form down to the quality of his Chelsea team-mates.

"I've played in World Cup finals, European Championship finals, Champions League finals with great teams," he said.

"I feel right now I am playing some of the best football of my career. If I chose this challenge (to join Chelsea) it's because I felt it could be this way. I didn't come here to just play well and that's it.

"I came here to win trophies and if I could play well and enjoy myself, all the better. There will be games I cannot enjoy myself the way I am today because other teams will approach games differently.

"But the most important thing for me is we know what we are doing, we know when we defend, when we have to attack, when we slower the pace, go quicker. I think right now, we are doing that very, very well."
