Top 5 players who played for Chelsea and Barcelona

#1: Cesc Fabregas

Fabregas chose Chelsea over Arsenal on returning to England

Over the years, Cesc Fabregas has become apt at dishing out assists to his teammates. An important player in the the Spanish national team, Fabregas was a La Masia graduate, sharing the honour with the likes of Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Puyol, and Pique. However, the attacking midfielder decided to join then English champions, Arsenal, at a young age.

Cesc Fabregas returned to his home club in 2011 in search of silverware. Barcelona signed the Arsenal skipper for €29 million and Fabregas took little time to adjust in a star-studded midfield with his old friends. In his three years at the Nou Camp, he won six trophies, scoring 42 goals in 151 appearances for the Catalans.

After Fabregas decided to move, he was touted to join his former club, Arsenal. However, the Spaniard produced quite a wave of hatred from the Gunners supporters after choosing Chelsea in 2014. Jose Mourinho paid a fortune of €33 million to bring him to England as Chelsea won the Premier League that season.

But, the move to Chelsea hasn't been as good as his Barcelona days. Fabregas still plies his trade at the Bridge and will look to match his accolades with the Catalans.
