Barca in bitter feud with Arsenal

The Barca president argued with then Gunners vice-chairman David Dein and secured a first-refusal option for Fabregas if Arsenal ever sold him.

Now he is livid with Arsenal over the new incident in which the Gunners seem to have gone behind Barcelona's backs again.

Barcelona have been publicly tapping-up Fabregas for several years and last summer he was on the verge of returning to his hometown club in a £31million transfer — but Gunners boss Arsene Wenger blocked the move.

Wenger has been angrily accusing Barcelona of underhand tactics in their attempts to snatch Cesc.

Now this latest incident is certain to further sour relations between the two clubs and is certain to spice up the second leg at the Nou Camp on March 8.
