Barcelona deserves La Liga title if season is scrapped - Fabregas

Fabregas Fabregas

Ex-Barcelona player, Cesc Fabregas has said that his former club deserves
the Spanish La Liga title if the 2019/20 is scrapped as a result of the COVID-29 pandemic.

This is in response to Fabregas' ex-Chelsea mate, Thibaut Courtois, who stated that Barcelona shouldn't be proclaimed champions if the season ends as it stands with his current club Real Madrid trailing Barca by two points.

According to the Monaco star, awarding Barca the title is something that would have to be accepted, just as his current side have had to since Ligue 1's termination.

"Everyone defends their own interests," Fabregas told TVE.

"At Monaco, we have been left without Europe next year for very little.

"But if [LaLiga Santander] stopped, as it has done in France, Barcelona would be worthy winners.

"We are not stopping because we like it. We are doing for an unavoidable cause."

Fabregas spoke highly of Real Madrid target Eduardo Camavinga who plays in Ligue 1 for Rennes.

"He has brutal qualities and is very strong," Cesc mentioned.

"He doesn't look his age."

Another Ligue 1 player high on Los Blancos' priority list is Kylian Mbappe.

"He's a guy with lots of hunger, who wants to be the best," he said.

"For the way he plays, who would really suit a team like Real Madrid."
