London, Aug.16 (ANI): Cesc Fabregas admits the biggest regret of his career will always be never lifting a trophy as Arsenal captain.
About 30,000 Barcelona fans at the Nou Camp welcomed the midfielder yesterday after he passed a medical and completed his 40-million-pound move.
Fabregas's signature on the five-year deal brought a close to one of the longest-running transfer sagas of recent seasons as Barca finally got their man after a three-year chase.
In an emotional press conference at the Nou Camp, he admitted: "The biggest regret I will have in my career is I did not lift a trophy as Arsenal captain. More than just not winning trophies and medals, it was the routine fact of doing the same things over and again, trying to win and then always finding, one way or another, that we just didn't have enough to get over the finishing line."
"The club is always bigger than the player and I am sure they will be strong again," he added.
Barca has paid 29 million pounds with add-ons of six million pounds and five million pounds in the future to take the total to 40 million pounds.
Fabregas admitted it was never a question of money after spending many, long painful hours talking over a move with Emirates boss Wenger. (ANI)
