MADRID - Spanish first division soccer league Barcelona star Cesc Fabregas said Sunday that he hopes to finish his career with Barca, but if he were to leave the Spanish giants he'd only go back to Arsenal and nowhere else.

"Apart from Arsenal and Barcelona, I don't see myself playing anywhere else," said the 24-year-old, who played for Arsenal for eight years before joined Barcelona in last summer.

"I will definitely be going back (to Arsenal) whenever I have time to watch games and to see the guys, and you never know in the future, why not?" He said.

"I hope I will stay here for a very long time, and maybe even retire here, but why not? In life, you can never say never, and if there is one place to go back to, it is Arsenal for sure," said Fabregas.
