Cesc Fabregas has apologised to Mark Hughes after rebuking the
Blackburn Rovers boss for his team's style of play.
The Spanish midfielder became involved in a row with Hughes
following a 0-0 draw between the two sides in their FA Cup fifth
round fixture at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
Hughes explained after the game how Fabregas asked him: 'Did you
really play for Barcelona?', before the midfielder then stated that
Blackburn's approach was a far cry from the stylish football
embodied by the Catalan giants.
The Rovers boss subsequently called on Fabregas to show him more
respect and, after cooling down, the Arsenal teenager visited the
away dressing room in order to say sorry in person.
Now the young Spaniard - who earned his trade with Barca before
joining Arsenal in 2003 - has explained his outburst stemmed from
his frustration with his own performance at Emirates Stadium.
"I went to apologise," said Fabregas. "I get upset when I don't
play well.
"I'm a young man and I have still got a lot to learn."
