Barcelona's Lionel Messi Frustrated By Cesc Fabregas Remaining At Arsenal 'Every Year'
Lionel Messi has spoken of his frustration at Barcelona's continued failure to bring Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas to the Nou Camp.
Fabregas, who starred for the Gunners during their 6-0 thrashing of Braga in the Champions League on Wednesday, was linked with a move to the Catalan giants throughout the summer.
However, Arsenal remained steadfast in their refusal to sell their skipper and Messi appeared frustrated that a deal failed to materialize.
"I don't know. Every year it is the same, it looks like he is joining us and then he stays with Arsenal," Messi told Sky Sports News.
The playmaker, traveling as part of a publicity campaign by sponsors Adidas, was due to make a 10 minute cameo appearance for an amateur side at Hackney Marshes this afternoon, although unexpected crowd levels ruined those plans.
The organizers only revealed the location of Messi's arrival 30 minutes beforehand via social networking sites, after revealing clues to the Argentine's location throughout the day.
Messi, who played in the Champions League victory over Panathinaikos on Tuesday night, is still expected to travel to Brick Lane to give away signed boots to fans.
