    Anyone else think Fabregas needs to be a pundit on sky sports? He's better than most pundits tbh.
  • @TrevorHolohan
    One of the most gifted midfielders of the modern era who won it all, and many fantastic memories of Cesc during his years playing in the Premier League. Phenomenal footballer. 👍😁😁😁👏👏👏👏👏
  • @rand84
    Baller. And he's gonna be a top manager aswell.
  • @ismailsbakht
    We to see 1 hour+ podcast with Cesc, I could listen to him all day
  • Football intelligence,even when you don't have the ball is the most important part.💯
  • @lancedsouza1547
    You can see the level of ball knowledge he possesses from being around the best (and being one of the best) in his career. He will be a top coach.
  • @aminem2080
    bring him back, his football IQ & ability to explain it vividly is second to none
  • @hafiz2664
    The bit about la masia players coming through and becoming top if they make it to the first team, against madrid’s academy players who find difficulty breaking it but are able to find success elsewhere was very eloquently put.
  • @kevinc7128
    Love this ! I think we as viewers sometimes take for granted how brilliant & structured the questions that Rio & his mate are asking. Great questions & great feedback from Cesc. As a madridista,it was interesting to see him talk abt the Barca-Madrid rivalry. The 2008-2012 era was amazing both domestically & internationally for Spain. Those El Clasicos were intense with Pep Vs Mourinho.
  • @JulianCole25
    As a man united fan, I wanted Fabregas so bad whenever he was rumoured. What a player.
  • @chesareroach
    Absolutely brilliant, Cesc's knowledge of the game.
  • People forget how young cesc was when he came to arsenal, and the Premier league was much more physical back then,hes got balls of steel to leave his country,Barcelona just to roll the dice on arsenal. Always will be a arsenal legend
  • @ryanphelan6861
    what a genius hes so articulate in a second language can only imagine his raw understanding of game. Not to mention he pique and messi played together since 13 : ) He will be top manager hes always had it since he was a kid innate understanding of the game. What a player and what a pleasure to watch him at arsenal, bara, and spain.
  • @mrfab4383
    Loved it, bring him on again another time if you can
  • @thrilla72
    6:27 Fernando Torres didn't play because after his knee injury in 2010 he was never the same. He may have won UCL but it was a bit part role
  • @levihawk6198
    Rio you definitely need to keep working with Roman you two are quality together 👌
  • @zfanime5753
