“Thiago, without any doubt, he has got fantastic qualities. He started very young at Barcelona, I played with him for a year,” Fabregas said on Match of the Day

“I think it’s time for Thiago to basically do something big in a big tournament. He has been now at the Euros, he has been at the World Cup, he never really played too much.

“So I think he needs to find a consistency to show the whole world that he really has top top level to show it at the biggest stage.”
