Chelsea ace Cesc: Spain players let themselves down

Chelsea ace Cesc Fabregas says Spain's players must take responsibility for their World Cup elimination.

Fabregas was left out of the Spain squad for the tournament so was working as a pundit for BBC.

And he says he cannot understand how a team with so many players from Barcelona and Real Madrid have exited the competition so early.

“I'm sad, I'm disappointed," Fabregas said.

"I think we could have done more. There's a lot of talent in this team.

“It's a great team, you look at the names, for me you have the best defence.

“Two Real Madrid players, two Barcelona players, you have (Sergio) Busquets, the best holding midfield player in the world.

“You have (Andres) Iniesta, (David) Silva, you cannot really find better names or better players in these positions."
