Cesc: ‘On the pitch, there are no friends’

Catalan-born Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas is relishing Arsenal’s role as the underdog in next week’s championship clash with Barcelona.

“It has been like this for us throughout the whole season, against Real Madrid and Juventus,” Fabregas told the Spanish media.

Supporters of Spain’s national team should play close attention to the Champions League final May 17. Five potential national team players could see action in the match.

Arsenal: Cesc Fabregas and Jose Antonio Reyes
Barcelona: Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Puyol

The Fabregas vs. Xavi/Iniesta midfield match-up should be intriguing.
