Fabregas chooses between Arsenal and Chelsea

The Mirror reports that back in 2020, the former Spain international gave a telling answer when asked which of Arsenal and Chelsea was his preferred club.

Fabregas had a Q&A session on Instagram with his daughter, with the ex-footie star asking his daughter what her favourite club was between two London clubs.

Incredibly, the daughter chose Chelsea, much to the chagrin of Arsenal fans.

The Spaniard later came out in defence of his daughter, with the legendary midfielder saying:

"To be fair, I asked her, 'From all the clubs that I've played for, which one is your favourite?' At Arsenal, she wasn't born. At Barcelona, she was only one.

"She lived in London with me at Chelsea for five years, coming to every game and wearing all the shirts... [it's] a bit of an easy answer."

Fabrgas' defence prompted a fan to ask him to state where his loyalty lies between the clubs.
