What happens when both Xavi and Iniesta get injured, like those couple games during this season? The fact is, there aren't many players that can replace Xavi or Iniesta, and Cesc is one of those few. As much as I appreciate Yaya, there are plenty of players that can replace him, maybe not as well as him but so that we won't at least miss him. And it's not like he played an integral part of the team this season, and we played plenty well without him. I prefer Busquets over him tbh, as much as I hate his diving, and so does Pep evidently.
