Me encantó la etapa de Cesc en el Barça, jugaba con mucha libertad, metió muchos goles y su química con Messi era magnifica.
Messi, el mejor jugador de la história 👏
Messi, campeon del mundo 2022👏
Messi 😍
man matthew barker really fumbled hard
Yes, not a lot of people ask that first question. It seems like journalists have totally failed on what the life of a young footballer is like. Seems like there’s a big story there.
Cesc should never doubt his time at Barca, when Messi got injured he managed to fill the False 9 role. He was phenomenal. A special player!
Barca ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He will be a Barca coach one day
🤵❤️😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Catalonia legend
This interview lost all its credibility 😭😭😭😭😭😭
a brutally honest person, elegant in his simplicity and directness.
Spain national team + Messi. Dreamteam. It's a shame that Villa broke his leg that season.
Just a typical body feint and players fall down
Only a feint , REMEMBER THAT IT WAS A TYPICAL BODY FEINT.
statsheads won't understand, had to be there for cesc.
I am from Barcelona. Holidays 2009 or 2010 went to London (Fàbregas was Arsenal's captain). He was hugely respected there. I remember I saw Fàbregas paintings in some gallery. Huge paintings. Amazing paintings (read It with Trump's voice). Then Barcelona… Then… Chelsea 🙁
Lovely interview! One cannot hate Cesc!
If you choose Ronaldo over Messi that's because you love him not because his better than Messi
Messi inspired CR7 to simplify his game.
What a great guy! And a wonderful player.
love listening to this guy talking
kate is getting visibly old 🙁
Messi Messi Messi 🇦🇷🇺🇸 Messuiee…
Messi is the greatest ever, so awesome Hearing one of my heros speak about Messi like this thank you Cesc
"One of the names"
"Once in a generation"
🙄🙄
This kate is kinda dumb.
Once in a lifetime player. Generation what a joke
💙❤️
O pequeno garoto de Rosário tímido e reservado que não podia crescer, se tornou o maior jogador de todos os tempos. Messi é a prova viva de que o talento e o trabalho duro se complementam. Não existirá outro igual!
I see mess,
You knows most people who are Messi fan now including my self, we were Ronaldo fans until we witnessed something different from Lionel Messi. Remember Ronaldo played at Portugal Professional League early of 2002 and 2003 he went to English Professional League before Messi started playing in Professional League & majority of people watches English Premier League that time. Then comes Messi 2003 and people (Ronaldo fans) started to recognize something new in the world 🌎 of football from Lionel Messi,then most of Ronaldo fans left him for Lionel Messi. Even same teammates of Ronaldo including coaches of Ronaldo left him for Lionel Messi. So is true that Messi is a real talented Goat 🐐 ⚽️ & thanks to God for blessing the world by giving us Messi magic otherwise Ronaldo would have going to fool lot of people thinking that he's the best football player in the world while that is FALSE 😅😅 Messi is the true Goat from heaven to earth. Ronaldo fans knows that & Ronaldo himself knows that, Ronaldo's mother knows that. Messi is a world Goat & Ronaldo's son knows that too too that Messi is a magician of football ⚽️ by far. The greatest of all time Lionel Messi 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
التفاحة الفاسدة الأخ سيسك فابريغاس
چنت تگدر تثبت روحك بلعبك مو بالtoxicity مالتك
4:50 His body faint is unnatural…That is Messi's absolute weapon..
Cesc was one of the genius in the premier league.
Messi eeee♥
I see messi, I click
Cesc was a class act! I loved watching him play alongside Dennis Bergkamp back in the days!
Messi 🐐..by far the Greatest ever ❤
Even Ronaldo knows that Messi is the greatest player of our generation.
Goat Messi
kate suddenly looks like granny
Another decade, Another year, Another Elite Player but same praises for the little boy from rosario, arengtina. If you weren't just convinced by watching him dribble past defenders or scoring goals or freekicks, listen to your favorite players/managers. They appreciate the GOAT!
The most corrupted generation
