Cesc Fabregas hails "great result"

Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas says that his side proved their doubters wrong with their Champions League win over Manchester City.

Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas has said that his side proved their doubters wrong with their 2-0 victory over Manchester City in the Champions League tonight.

Lionel Messi and Dani Alves both scored away goals at the Etihad Stadium as the Spaniards took a commanding lead in their last-16 tie.

"We had a great result tonight," he told ITV Sport. "The fans put so much pressure on and that's what makes this so win special. We had a point to prove, and we did it very well.

"Some people were talking a bit too much before the game and now they have to shut up for a few days. You never know in football, but in three weeks we will have to play very, very well."

The second leg will take place at the Camp Nou on March 12.
