Zapping But! Football Club Real Madrid, FC Barcelona: top 10 most capped players in the Champions League
It’s hot, right now, on social networks between FC Barcelona supporters. Some believe that Sergio Busquets is no longer fit for the sentry position, the 33-year-old midfielder having indeed experienced some air pockets, such as in the Spanish Supercopa semi-final against Real Madrid (2-3) during which he lost a ball in his camp leading to the opener. A hashtag #BusquetsEnEIBanquillo (Busquets on the bench) has emerged and is seeing very lively debates between each side.
But Barça coach Xavi took a very clear position in favor of his former team-mate: “When there are no results, we are criticized, even me. But Sergio is an essential player. He knows that he made a mistake against Real Madrid. But we all have to improve so that he can give the best. It’s an essential piece in our project. If the squad block is more compact, it’s the best world player in his position”.
