Busquets has been at Barcelona since 2005, playing 707 games for the senior side since his 2007 debut and winning eight La Liga titles.

“An example of sacrifice, of leadership. He is priceless.

“From a football point of view, he is the equilibrium of the team, he commands his teammates. When he is there and he is not there, you notice it.

“There is a before and after in terms of the defensive pivot with and without Busi. We will always see him as an example, a mould.”
