Chelsea and Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas has been caught speeding and therefore condemned to a six-month banned from driving.
The player was clocked on the A3 in Surrey doing 110mph, twice over the speed limit of that road.
It was put forward on Friday that the Spaniard would be banned, with Cesc pleading guilty, ensuring that the fine to pay would be up to £2,560.
Fabregas’ barrister Ben Waidhofer told the court: “Certainly, he has learned his lesson today.”
“He (Fabregas) is genuinely remorseful. He has learned his lesson and wishes to draw a line (under the matter).
“This is not somebody who is repeatedly before the court for troubling speed cameras, running red lights, driving without insurance and driving without a licence.”
“That doesn’t arise in this case. What I can tell you is that this is somebody who will not be doing it again.”
