The pendulum in Barcelona and Spain’s grand timepiece.
Sergio Busquets – Spain – Will face Czech Republic, Turkey, and Croatia
HITC Sport writers have compiled a list of the top 50 players at Euro 2016, assessing players from across the 24 countries taking part at this summer’s tournament.
Coming in at number 18 is Spain and Barcelona’s Sergio Busquets, the unsung hero of both teams who would be perfect for Manchester City.
The top players at Euro 2016 1-50: Read the entire list
International record: Caps 83, 2 Goals, 1x FIFA World Cup, 1x UEFA European Championship
2015/16: The 27-year-old has had yet another quietly consistent season in the heart of Barcelona’s midfield.
The conductor has been fantastic at breaking down opposing attacks and starting Barca’s own all season and will hope to do the same for Spain.
Spain’s key man?
Spain have plenty of talented players but many will suggest Busquets is key. He gives the rest of the team the freedom to wonder and also adds much needed height to the team when defending set-pieces.
Premier League move?
There is no doubt Pep Guardiola would love to have Busquets at Manchester City next season.
The pair know each other well but the midfield master has been with Barca since 2005 and a deal looks unlikely.
No matter how much money Manchester City might throw at it.
