Fabregas: Spain want third consecutive European title

After racking up a century of Spain caps, Cesc Fabregas has set his sights on helping the European champions retain their crown at Euro 2016.

Fabregas captained Spain away to Ukraine on Monday as a 1-0 win rounded off a successful campaign, which saw Vicente del Bosque's side top Group C.

"It's going to be tough because nobody has ever won the Euros three times in a row," Fabregas is quoted by the Premier League club's official website.

"But we will try to do our best, even if it will be a difficult task.

"Our goal is always to win. Even though we had already qualified, we didn't go [to Ukriane] just to play a friendly game, we wanted to win. 

"Especially for me it was a very special day, I played my 100th game for the national team so obviously I wanted to win the game more than anything."
