“My favourite stadium to play in was Highbury,” the two-time Premier League winner with Chelsea was quoted on Arsenal News Channel.
“I really miss Highbury, it was amazing. Obviously, my dream was to play at Camp Nou and I did it, San Siro was pretty special as well whenever we played in the Champions League, Anfield too.
“But Highbury is definitely the one that had a big impact on me. The best goal I scored was against AC Milan in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in 2008.”
