Cesc Fabregas has brought down the curtain on a glittering career after announcing his retirement in a heartfelt statement.
The 36-year-old former Arsenal, Barcelona, Chelsea and Spain midfielder won everything there is to win in the game at club and international level. But his season in Serie B with Como was his last as a player and he will now make the move into coaching with the Italian club.
After hanging up his boots, Fabregas said: "It is with great sadness that the time has come for me to hang up my playing boots. From my first days at Barca, Arsenal, Barca again, Chelsea, Monaco and Como, I will treasure them all.
