The Spaniard has brushed off the monetary difference in squad value between his own team and that of their Champions League opponents.
Arsenal captain Fabregas revealed his thoughts on Manchester United's pricey stars, stating that money counts for nothing when a squad as cheap as the Gunners' can reach the same stage as their Salford-based opponents.
Determined to justify Arsene Wenger's cagey approach to signing expensive players, the skipper is quoted in The Sun as saying:
"Just because a player costs £20million, it doesn’t mean he is better than one who cost £2m.
"That has been shown in the past by players at this club — Patrick Vieira, Dennis Bergkamp, Robert Pires and Thierry Henry.
"They were the best in the world, players who had won World Cups and European Championships.
"Then there are other players who have cost £20m or even £30m who haven’t won anything.
"We know what we can do at Arsenal and we know how good we are. The transfer fee doesn’t mean a thing."
