Fabregas has confessed to throwing of pizza at then Manchester United Manager Sir Alex Ferguson during the famous ‘Battle of Buffet’ at Old Trafford.
He made this known on the upcoming episode of sports panel show A League of Their Own.
The drama unfolded in 2004 after United beat Arsenal 2-0 to put an end to their 49 games unbeaten run.
Host James Corden asked the Chelsea midfielder, “Tonight, can we finally put the case of the flying pizza to bed once and for all? Were you the culprit that threw the pizza?”
“Yes,” replied Fabregas. “All of a sudden, I heard noises (from the tunnel) and I thought what’s happening? So I go out with my slice of pizza and I saw Sol Campbell , Rio Ferdinand,
Martin Keown … everyone pushing each other.
“I was like, I want to get in but I don’t know how to and I threw… peeew… just threw it. Once I saw it was hitting, like, who it was hitting, which I didn’t mean. I apologise Sir Alex, really didn’t mean to do that!”
