Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas wants to win the FA Cup once again, to compensate for the medal he lost after Arsenal’s success in 2005. Speaking before Chelsea’s clash with United in the final on Saturday, he revealed that medal had been lost.
“This one, I cannot find it,” Fabregas told UK newspapers. My dad used to keep my medals and, once I’d grown up, I said to him, ‘Listen, where are all my medals and stuff?’ He’d nearly lost the World Cup one even but I found that in a box in my mum’s house. I have nearly all of them but I’ve lost two or three, including the FA Cup one. I hope, on Saturday, I will have a new one to keep.”
Fabregas felt his team were lucky to win that final against one of the best teams he has faced. “I remember that final in a special way. It was my first big trophy as a professional at a very young age,” he said.
