Sky Sports News line up Fabregas interview for Christmas Day
December 23, 2011 · 2 Comments
Sky Sports News are serving up a Christmas Day treat for football fans with an exclusive interview with Barcelona ace Cesc Fabregas.
The former Arsenal captain switched the Emirates for the Nou Camp in the summer in a £30m deal. Sky Sports Georgie Thompson travelled to Barcelona to meet the playmaker and discuss his emotional departure from Arsenal and return to his boyhood club.
The Spain midfielder’s move to the Catalan giants was a long drawn out affair, with rumours about Fabregas leaving Arsenal emerging months before his departure. Fabregas tells Special Report how he lost motivation and the faith of his Arsenal team mates during his last year with the Gunners and how he wept when it was time to say goodbye.
The show will also see how Fabregas is getting on off the pitch in the Spanish city, as the 24-year-old relaxes at home with Gerard Pique and goes back to his roots with a visit to his old school.
Special Report: Cesc in Barcelona is on Sky Sports News on Christmas Day at 12.30pm and again at 5.30pm.
