Barcelona forward, Fabregas dine with their partners

After bagging a hattrick for Barcelona, Lionel Messi was in London to hang out with his friend, Cesc Fabregas.

The two players on Sunday, March, Sunday 8, were spotted at the Colony Club Casino Bar along with their partners- Messi girlfriend, Antonella Roccuzzo and Fabregas' girlfriend Daniella Semaan.

The couples have been close for years following Fabregas' return to Barcelona from Arsenal in 2011.

Fabregas subsequently moved to Chelsea last summer but the quartet's friendship evidently remains as Messi and Roccuzzo flew from Spain to spend time with the Spain international and Semaan.

Lionel Messi and Fabregas' friendship dates back to their time growing up at Barcelona's youth academy La Masia.
