Chelsea midfielder Cesc: Tougher leaving Barcelona second time round

Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas admits it was difficult leaving Barcelona over the summer.

It was the second time he had quit Barca, having joined Arsenal as a teenager.

He said: "Leaving the second time was much worse. When you leave as a teenager you don't even imagine being a first team player.

"I would still repeat the experience because it was a dream to play at the Camp Nou. Even though some people don't want to accept it I left this time with five trophies."
