Video: Barcelona star Cesc Fabregas presents at Brit Awards with Nicole Scherzinger

Barcelona star Cesc Fabregas decided against returning to Spain immediately after his side's victory over Manchester City in order to present at the Brit Awards on Wednesday.

The 26-year-old headed to the O2 Arena in London after being part of Tuesday's 2-0 win over City at the Etihad Stadium in the round-of-16 tie.

After walking onto the stage with singer Nicole Scherzinger, who is the girlfriend of Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton, Fabregas was asked to apologise for his side's win over City.

Fabregas went on to present the award for Best International Group to Daft Punk.
