AS Monaco midfielder Cesc Fabregas has questioned whether former Barcelona stars Xavi and Andres Iniesta would've been so dominant at another club.

Cesc says he's proud of how he has adapted to different coaches and competitions.

He told AS: "Andrés and Xavi were lucky to play at Barça surrounded by Ronaldinho, (Leo) Messi ... If they had gone to other teams, such as Atlético or our Chelsea with (Antonio) Conte, they would have had to readjust.

"It is not such an open football. My case is different because I trained in Arsenal. We liked having the ball, but we also went against it incredibly. Since childhood I have sucked in other things. I had to adapt to (Jose) Mourinho, Conte ... I have been through many things in my career."
