Relevo with Sergi Roberto

AndIt’s a very cool photo for next year. What better captain than someone who loves the club and has had great experiences.

Regarding the League, the captain indicated that “losing in Madrid was a turning point, we talked about what we could do better and we said things to each other’s faces. After the World Cup everything changed. We won the Super Cup with superiorityd. Everything was quite smooth, we recovered players, although some fell and we were very strong as a team”.

During this time “vI had to train, with my teammates and the staff telling me that I had to renew, at least one more years. They make you doubt. In the end you see things, you think differently and there comes a time when you say, I’ve been here for 15 years, I’m privileged, I’m at the best club in the world. So far”
Busquets recalled that “he had not won for three years, being important, as captain, with experience and I have tried to be empathetic, with a good functioning of the team. I would like a new experience, with the family. I put it all together and made this decision, which is the best.”
