15 years ago today, Arsenal captain Cesc Fร bregas was spotted at the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona while Arsenal played their final game of the season, drawing 2-2 with Fulham.
As a result, Arsenal somehow finished 4th, despite spending most of the season in 2nd & therefore missed out on an automatic Champions League place.
He then went on strike in the summer, refusing to train & go on the pre season tour until he finally got his move to Barcelona for a lower fee than Arsenal were holding out for.
