But Gunners boss Wenger, referring to Barca's Argentine ace Lionel Messi, said: "Where do they get their players? Where does Messi come from? Barcelona? At what age did they take him? Twelve years old. "There's no reason for any bitterness because we did nothing illegal. We did not force a gun somewhere. "We respected the rules. They could take our players, we accept that.
"They take their players from all over the world. Don't expect them only to get players from Catalonia." Barca's former president Joan Laporta reckons it will be 'justice' if Fabregas returns to his home city in the summer.
But Wenger is confident his captain will be focused tonight against the team he supported. The Arsenal chief, who lost to Barca a year ago, said: "Cesc will approach it as he approaches every game - with a huge desire to win."
Wenger looks likely to start Samir Nasri who has recovered from a hamstring problem.
