Fabregas talks of Di Maria danger

Benfica sold the Argentine to Madrid in the summer, but he has been overshadowed by the brilliant form of Cristiano Ronaldo. Fabregas, recovering from injury, will be cheering on his boyhood team on Monday, but has words of warning for Los Cules.

“I hope Barca win but I think it will be a very balanced game. Guardiola’s team play a great game, but Real Madrid are much more dangerous than in other years. Up front they are very strong and Di Maria has really impressed me.”
