Cesc: “I'd be very excited to play against Arsenal”

“All of the rivals are difficult, but I’d be excited to play against Arsenal because of my affinity and love for that club. It would be a very special tie for me.” Cesc Fàbregas expressed his preference ahead of the Champions League Round of 16 draw scheduled for December 20.

In a promotional event, the Barça midfielder talked about Messi’s injury scare: “Thankfully it was only a knock and, knowing him, I’m sure that he’ll want to play on Sunday. We’re lucky that Leo isn’t seriously injured.”
