Sergio Busquets Joins Inter Miami After 18 Years at Barcelona - A Look at His Anfield Moment
Key Highlights :
Sergio Busquets has left Barcelona after 18 years at the club and has now completed his move to MLS franchise Inter Miami. The Spanish midfielder had a hugely successful time at the club, winning nine La Liga titles, three Champions League titles, three Club World Cups, the 2010 World Cup, and the 2012 European Championship. However, one moment in particular has stuck in the minds of the Anfield faithful - his social media activity prior to Barcelona's 4-0 second leg comeback in the Champions League semi-finals.
Busquets had been very active on Twitter prior to the match and posted that his side were 'ready' for the clash at Anfield, with Barcelona 3-0 up and perhaps showing a little too much confidence. This post has become synonymous with the famous victory, leaving supporters to wonder whether he will ever take to the platform again.
Days after the match, Busquets spoke of the difficult time Barcelona were having as they played out their final home match of the 2018/19 campaign in front of a deflated, half-empty Camp Nou. He said: "We knew we had to play, but it was really difficult for everyone. Hopefully the wounds which the club, the fans and the players have will heal."
The Spaniard also spoke of the challenge of winning a double, but the wound from Liverpool was still deep. Since then, Barcelona have failed to reach the final four in Europe's top competition, but have had success in others. As an Inter Miami player, Busquets will have to watch on to find out if his former employers can reach the pinnacle of European competition.
Busquets will link up with former teammate upon their arrivals in Florida this summer and will be hoping to bring his experience and winning mentality to the MLS franchise. He will be remembered for his impressive trophy haul for club and country, but for the Anfield faithful, his post prior to the 4-0 comeback will remain one of his most iconic moments.
