- Fabregas targets final return
Arsenal midfielder dynamo Cesc Fabregas is dreaming of helping the Gunners reach a second Champions League final in three years.
Fabregas and co face Liverpool in the quarter-finals, with the Spaniard hoping to help repeat the run that saw the Gunners reach the final in May 2006, where they were beaten by his former club, Barcelona.
Fabregas told a Spanish radio station: "Obviously everybody dreams, but you have to work hard to make dreams become reality. If you stay in bed then you are never going to obtain your dream.
"I am dreaming of playing in another Champions League final. If it is against Barcelona it will be difficult, because they have a great team.
"All I want is another chance of playing in a final, whoever that is against. If we won, then in five years' time nobody will care who the opposition was.
"I would have preferred to play a European team, but this is what we have been given and we have to deal with it.
"To play in the Champions League against the same players that you play every week and see on the television, well, I would have preferred Barcelona, Real Madrid or an Italian team."
