Cesc Fabregas Doesn't Rate Xavi Or Iniesta As Best Midfielder He's Played With

We think Cesc Fabregas might be trolling us all. Either that or he's just completely lost the plot.

During a recent interview which was published on Chelsea's Youtube channel, the question was put to Fabregas about who the best midfielder he's ever played with is.

Now bear in mind Fabregas has played in midfield for Barcelona and Spain during his career, he could have chosen any of a series of world class midfielders.

His answer? Xavi? Nope. Iniesta? Not a chance? Maybe Sergio Busquets? Not at all.

Instead Fabregas opted for MATHIEU FLAMINI. No, you're eyes aren't dreaming, Cesc Fabregas actually rates the Frenchman as being a better midfield than Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets and Xabi Alonso.

Fabregas also singles former Arsenal teammate Gilberto Silva out for praise.
