Cesc Fabregas believes that Arsenal have beaten the greatest team in the history of football, following their 2-1 win over Barcelona at the Emirates Stadium.
The two sides met in the first leg of the last 16 of the Champions League on Wednesday night, and the Gunners went behind to a David Villa goal in the first half before sensationally coming from behind to snatch a victory.
Robin van Persie scored from a tight angle after 78 minutes to put the game back on level terms, while substitute Andrey Arshavin - who had come on for Alex Song - scored the winner five minutes later.
And despite the victory, the 23-year-old midfielder is keeping his feet on the ground, insisting that the tie is not over yet.
"They don’t lose many games," Fabregas said, according to The Mirror.
"They are the best side in football history, in my opinion.
"But we have only played half of this tie. It’s a nice compliment to us, but that’s all. We have closed the gap on them from last year. We are one year older, we have less injured players."
