🚨BREAKING: Cesc Fàbregas on the demolition of Lens: “They called us debutants. We’re in the history books.” “I want to be humble, but I cannot. These players ignored nothing. They simply played with freedom and belief. I am extremely proud of them. They played as a unit, and that is exactly what we are trying to build. The scoreline did us justice. I do not celebrate the number for the sake of it. When you go to an opponent’s home and dominate like this, you create future rivals. We are happy to do that. Today was not only about preparation. It was a statement of how we intend to play. They called us debutants. At Manchester United I was called arrogant after I asked the players to ease off. I took offence then. Tonight, every time we attacked, the scoreboard operator had work to do. That is what the night was about. On our debut season we have become the second club to score nine goals. Well done to Papaccioli for that.”
