Cesc Fabregas says he would
give Chelsea's Premier
League title-winning
campaign a "seven or eight"
out of 10.
Jose Mourinho’s men eased
to their first Premier League title victory in five years
earlier this month, while the club also saw off
Tottenham in the League Cup final in March.
But Fabregas, who has now won the Premier League
for the first time in his career, admits the biggest
negative was Chelsea’s elimination to Paris Saint-
Germain in the Champions League last-16.
"If I have to give it [our season] a score, I'd give a
seven or eight. It has been a great season, winning
two trophies," the midfielder told Spanish radio
station Cope.
"The only blow you can think about was the tie
against Paris Saint-Germain. We were solid,
consistent and we have competed very well, but that
second leg is the negative thing I most remember
from the season.
"I believe we should've done better, but it's a young
team. The manager is building a new team based on
the Chelsea of the past and I think that in the next few
years we will be better."
Fabregas is now two behind Thierry Henry’s record of
20 Premier League assists in a single season and the
Spaniard admits he is keen to surpass his former
Arsenal team-mate with two games remaining.
"I told [Eden] Hazard I'll pass you the ball, and you
shoot every time [against Liverpool]," said the 28-
year-old. "In any case, I'm happy to have beaten my
personal record of 17."
