Spanish football star and Gunners skipper Cesc Fabregas has said that he is still pinching himself to make sure that he was a part of the world cup football winning squad.
“I will look back on the last 48 hours of my life and pinch myself to make sure it wasn't all one big wonderful dream. One minute I am holding the most beautiful trophy on this planet in the palm of my hands, like it's a baby. It's so precious and I want to keep it for ever but at the same time I desperately don't want to drop it,” he writes in an article for The Sun.
“It's all a lot for a 23-year-old to take in and right now my head is spinning with the enormity of it.
Everywhere I looked last night there was a sea of people dressed in the colours of my country, draped in flags and scarves and singing their hearts out. For themselves, their families and loved ones and for us, the players,” he adds.
“It is the most thrilling feeling, you are on top of the world and you forget your everyday problems and worries and stresses. That is why I am so happy, to know that for a while at least we put a smile on people's faces. I wrote in The Sun on Saturday I desperately wanted to play in the final - even if it meant coming on as a substitute, which is what happened. But I didn't just want to come on for the final minutes. I desperately wanted to make a difference, to actually contribute towards something,” he adds.
“And that's what happened. I was in the right place at the right time to make the decisive pass to Andres Iniesta for our winning goal,” he says.
He concludes by saying: “The most important thing, though, is we won the match and we are world champions.”
