David Luiz and Eden Hazard were also among players to pay tribute with the latter saying he was lucky to have played alongside Fabregas.“In five years I can say that Iwas lucky to play with him,” Hazard told reporters on Saturday.“Since the beginning when he came, we saw it the first year, we won the double together.“Top guy on the pitch, off the pitch, a great friend of mine. I hope he will have a good future.“He’s a bit old now! But he’s still very good and he will enjoy.”
