Cesc Fabregas: Monaco and ex-Chelsea star shares hilarious bet with Willy Caballero

Cesc Fabregas and Willy Caballero at Stamford BridgeA man of his word or a bit of a sore loser?
Cesc Fabregas has revealed he bought Willy Caballero a Range Rover when they played together at Chelsea... but it wasn't quite the new car the Argentine goalkeeper was hoping for.
The Spanish World Cup winner, a man rarely afraid to step up to the penalty spot, said he would practice penalties after training and would often have "little bets" with goalkeepers to "put a bit of spice into the challenge".
Having scored 15 penalties in his career, it's understandable he became "too confident" when he challenged Caballero, promising his team-mate a Ranger Rover if he saved his penalty.
And sure enough, Caballero, who is also known for having a decent penalty record between the sticks, stepped up and made the save.
Fabregas not only had to fork out for the car, but he was left feeling like "the most stupid guy on earth".
However, the initial bet didn't state that the Range Rover had to be new... so Fabregas presented Caballero with a battered old Range Rover that he'd found in a scrap yard for only £950 - complete with cracked windscreen.
A video shared by Fabregas shows the moment Caballero is presented the car in front of his Chelsea team-mates including Pedro and Marcos Alonso.
"The lesson of the story is: Don't bet at all at any cost," Fabregas concluded.
Thankfully, the Chelsea keeper took the joke in good taste, replying to the post saying "this is absolutely true. this man has a word and does what he promises. I miss you Cesc Fabregas".
The Spanish midfielder left the London side at the end of last season to join Ligue 1's Monaco, but he has not been shy in reminiscing about his time at Chelsea on social media.
In recent weeks he has shared fan videos from his time at Chelsea, wished the club a happy birthday and retweeted Kepa Arrizabalaga's tweet celebrating the win against Liverpool in the FA Cup.

The untold truth of Jet Li

Whenever kung fu comes up in conversation, the movies of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan are inevitably discussed, but in his native China, Jet Li is held in equally high regard.

what is the most frightening thing that you have ever seen happen in life

It’s a man looking over his family during the British Raj in India. There were many cases of cannibalism and he feared someone would try to kill and eat his children or wife. I acknowledge this is a difficult picture to look at— but I included it for a reason. Many people in the US/West aren’t even aware of the terrible famines that swept through India and which are comparable to the holocaust in deaths (an estimated ~30 million people have died in famines in India). This was taken from the Great Famine of 1876–1878, which was far worse than the infamous Bengal Famine. It was caused by a crop failure/drought and was exacerbated by the crown’s export of wheat abroad. In total, 5.6 - 9 million people died (it’s hard to get exact figures). And within huge statistics like these, are forgotten stories. These are individuals and families, who slowly faced the despair of knowing they had no food and would have no food in the near future. They faced the horror of knowing there was ...
