🏴 Steven Gerrard on Sergio Busquets:
🗣️ “Having played against him, in the end you stop pressing him because it’s just so frustrating.
“You can’t get near him, you can’t get the ball off him, you can’t get close.
“If you come out of your position to press him, he pops it around you — and you can’t do it for 90 minutes because you’re just using useless energy up.
“He’s an absolute nightmare to play against. He didn’t break sweat. It almost looks like he’s in second gear.” ❤️🇪🇸
Sergio Busquets didn’t just play the game—he completed it. 👑

You can argue with whoever you want, but Sergio Busquets is the best defensive midfielder of this generation.
The world knows it. His intelligence, composure and understanding of the game were on another level.
He didn't need pace or flashy skills. He controlled football with his brain.
His ability to receive the ball under pressure without fear of losing it, draw opponents towards him and create space for his No. 8 and No. 10 to play freely was pure genius.
The stats are there. The trophies are there. The highlights are there.
Sergio Busquets is HIM
