Together, they formed an unstoppable force, leading Barcelona to numerous titles and ensuring their place in football history.
After a successful stint at Barcelona, Fàbregas embarked on a new adventure, this time donning the blue of Chelsea. Once again, he proved instrumental in guiding his team to victory.
