Shortly after AS Monaco qualified for the Champions League play-offs following their victory against Sparta Prague (3-1, 2-0 in the first leg) on Tuesday, Cesc Fabregas (34) did not escaped questions about the transfer of Lionel Messi (34) to Paris Saint-Germain. Trained at La Masia with “La Pulga”, of which he was the teammate for several seasons in Barcelona (2011-2014), the Monegasque midfielder expressed his sorrow at the idea of seeing him wear a shirt other than that of the Catalan club.
“Yes, I spoke with him. First, I’m a little sad for him. He wanted to stay at Barcelona. I’m from Barcelona and you know it’s hard now to watch Barca without Leo, said the Spaniard, despite everything happy to now be able to face him in L1. (…) It’s a new challenge for him, which will be very interesting. It’s also a good thing for Ligue 1. Of course, I look forward to seeing him play for Paris. Just as I also feel a lot of excitement at the prospect of being able to play against him and Paris. Even more so than last year. “
See you in mid-December for the ASM’s trip to the Parc des Princes in Ligue 1.
