I never said anything against Arsenal: Cesc

Barcelona: Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas has vehemently denied making any comments about Arsenal not being able to challenge for titles anymore.

Early on Thursday, the Spain international was quoted by Sport magazine as saying he had signed for Barcelona as he no longer believed the Gunners could claim silverware.

It was also written that Fabregas had claimed his former side were outside the top three in England because of a huge gap between them and the likes of Chelsea and Manchester's big two.

However, the 24-year-old has now denied making such remarks, saying on Twitter: "I have not given any interviews since my press conference at my presentation.

"There, I just said the truth and what came out of my heart: great words about a great club, because success and trophies is just what they deserve.

"I want Arsenal to be successful as much as every single fan. That is not why I left, it was never in my mind. Arsenal made me who I am today."
