Cesc Fabregas has revealed his ideal XI on Twitter from the players he has shared a field with at Arsenal, Chelsea, Barcelona and the Spanish national side.
The Spanish midfielder picked Iker Casillas in goal. A defense made up of Dani Alves, John Terry, Gerard Piqué and Jordi Alba.
Fabregas adopts gung-ho approach
In midfield, he selected two greats in Patrick Viera and Andres Iniesta along with Lionel Messi and Eden Hazard as he went for a very attack-minded approach.
He also picked Diego Costa and Thierry Henry. He also wanted to give a special shout-out to Carles Puyol and David Villa, who didn't make the final cut.
Fabregas moved to Monaco during the January transfer window to team up with Henry but the manager was sacked shortly afte rhis arrival. Under returning manager, Leonardo Jardim, they have gone seven games unbeaten and currently lie nine points away from the relegation zone.
