Fabregas was quoted by the publication as having said Arsenal could not compete for trophies, but this has now been convincingly nailed as a complete fabrication.
Fábregas revealed on Twitter: “Got the apology and retraction from that magazine that made up an interview about me. Can’t believe some journalists.
“I will also get … damages that I will give to charity. Hope it teaches them a lesson. I would NEVER say a bad word about Arsenal Football Club.”
