Cesc Fabregas: We must focus on Wembley clash

Simon Johnson13 April 2012

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has warned his team-mates to forget about the Champions League and concentrate on beating Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday.

Arsene Wenger's side will get to the final of Europe's premier club competition if they get past Manchester United in the last four, but Fabregas insists it's vital the team still do their utmost in the FA Cup and is desperate to beat Chelsea at Wembley.

He said: "Playing Manchester United in the Champions League semi-final will be a massive game for us, a great opportunity.

"But we must be focused on Chelsea first. The FA Cup is a very important trophy for us and we should look to win it as well."

Emmanuel Adebayor is confident Arsenal will prove too good for Chelsea if they play in the same style as they did last night.

The Togo international said: "We know how strong Chelsea are, but we just have to put the ball on the ground and play our own football. If we play our style we can beat every team in the world."
