Sergio Busquets

We have to have a near perfect team in strength and pace next to him, but when we do he's still vital. Adds a ton of structure to the team.

He was good today, but his performance depends on the situation and matchup type. Problem for Barca is that they haven't decided to bring in a midfielder or a setup that a manager is willing to use where Busquets regularly gets rotated.

Great game like all midfielders, 3 best of the 4, but all were excellent.

Needs a certain setup to excel, but at 34 or however old he is that's a given.

Move on this summer to someone else.

He was slow in all aspects of the game until the first goal. Had poor awareness, quite a few poor passes and lost his duels. Grew into the game and played well later on tho, but really looked like the odd one out of Pedri, Gavi and FDJ who all started much better.

He was great today, and the whole team was great. Ok Madrid were poor (completely different level to last years SuperCopa for example) and are out of form, but from Barca side we moved in all the phases as a team, and created space for eachother. For this Busquets is great when he has 2 or more outlets everytime he gets the ball, and the space is covered when he advanced on the short press.

Oh and as I'm typing, that RB we were close to signing in the summer from Rennes, just scored against Paris St Messi.

This applies to all midfielders though: we played against grandpas Modric and Kroos. I think Busi will be the one to struggle the most again when we meet a team like Frankfurt.

Absolutely. Don't want to take too much today, but Madrid are as much out of form as Bayern were when we met. And this game was so much bigger for us today, and it showed.

He was good overall and his chasing of ball came off as won it early a good few times.

Still slow to move to get on ball at times and some loose moments and close calls but good game overall.

Disgraceful is how he sabotaged Barca's CL campaign.

That game was one of the poorest El Clasicos played by Real Madrid. If we don't count Benzema's goal, they had a single shot on goal by Kroos.
