Former Arsenal, Barcelona, and Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has singled out Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard as his most challenging adversary during his illustrious career.
Meeting on the Pitch
Fabregas and Gerrard clashed numerous times in the Premier League, particularly during Fabregas' tenure at Arsenal.
Admirable Qualities
Fabregas commended the former England captain for his remarkable versatility on the field. "I always felt he had everything in his locker. He could dictate play; he could score goals, do assists, and make runs in behind. Offensively, he was very strong," Fabregas told Sport Bible.
Rising to Stardom
A former Spain international, Fabregas achieved prominence during his tenure at Arsenal before transitioning to Barcelona in 2011, where he clinched the La Liga title. He later moved to Chelsea in 2014, securing two Premier League titles during his stint.
# International Success
Notably, Fabregas, the ex-Arsenal captain, also tasted glory on the international stage, winning the World Cup and two European Championships with Spain.
Facing a Formidable Foe
Reflecting on his encounters with Gerrard, Fabregas emphasized the necessity of being at the pinnacle of one's performance. "You always felt that when you were coming up against him, you had to be at the top of your game; otherwise, you would be in trouble because he was very consistent. He was always an eight, seven, eight, seven [out of 10]," Fabregas added.
