Cesc Fabregas says nothing should be read into him wearing a Barca shirt during Spain's World Cup celebrations.
Gunners ace plays down Blaugrana jersey prank
Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas insists nothing should be read into him wearing a Barcelona shirt as part of Spain's World Cup celebrations.
Fabregas was forced to wear a Blaugrana jersey by Carles Puyol and Gerard Pique after being brought to the front of the stage by Liverpool's Pepe Reina.
The 23-year-old is wanted back by former club Barca and the Primera Liga champions have already seen one reported €35million (£29.2m) offer rejected by Arsenal.
Fabregas insists he knew nothing about the Barca players' plans, and that the stunt was just a bit of fun and is not an indication as to his long-term future.
"These are things that happen at special moments, and I don't think it should be gone on about much more because it was just another anecdote of a great night, a great celebration," explained Fabregas.
Forgiveness
"There are times we do not even know what we do, so everything can be forgiven.
"Pepe took me there (to the front of the stage), the truth is that I didn't know anything like that was going to happen and so I was a bit surprised.
"At first I thought it was a flag or something, but it's nothing. You had to enjoy it and if it's a way to have fun, it's nothing."
When questioned on his long-term future Fabregas remained non-committal, stating the more he comments on the issue the more fuel is added to the flames.
"I think now the less said about the subject much the better, because these things are worse for everyone when they come to light and people talk more about the matter," he continued.
"Right now we have to be very calm and what will be will be."
