Fábregas: Spain's beautiful football will win World Cup
Cesc Fábregas, the Arsenal midfielder, hailed Spain's 1-0 victory in the European Championship Final over Germany as the best day in his life. Impressive substitute appearances in the earlier rounds and striker David Villa's injury had earned the 21-year-old a starting berth in Luis Aragonés's team.
Though he was hauled off in the second half, Fábregas saluted Spain's win and claimed it was a "victory for beautiful football". He is positive that this Spanish team - the second-youngest in the competition - will be back for more silverware at the South Africa World Cup in 2010.
He said: "It feels amazing, this is the best day of my life in football, I don't think we've realised yet what we have achieved.
"It's been a long time since a team playing this kind of beautiful football won a tournament like this.
"It is 44 years after Spain last won anything. This is one of the best trophies you can win as a footballer and I did it, we did it.
"We play football on the ground, we try to pass the ball and we won this tournament in style. We gave football the success it deserves.
"You know what a young squad this is, so hopefully we can think about winning the World Cup in two years' time."
