The Barça midfielder added 96 victories with the national team shirt
He has already equaled Iniesta and his next target is Xavi, who added a total of 100
The Nations League window that ended with Spain’s victory against the Czech Republic in Malaga (2-0) served to reinforce some of the points of Luis Enrique’s ideology, once again strengthened by the results (Spain is the leader of its group) and with very clear ideas for the upcoming Nations matches and the World Cup in Qatar.
In the victory against the Czechs Sergio Busquets reached a new milestone matching one of his great mentors, both at Barça and in the national team. The one from Badía added his 96th victory, the same as that of Fuentealbilla.
Ahead only remains Xavi with 100 victories, Casillas with 121 and Sergio Ramos with 131. The end of Busquets with the national team seems close after the World Cup in Qatar, but it will be enough to continue climbing positions.
The essentials of Luis Enrique
Two more Barça players will also be in the World Cup, and presumably as starters. Together with Gavi, the national team’s midfield will be made up of Busquets and Pedritwo other essentials for Lucho. It is the magic triangle of the selector.
Busquets is an old acquaintance for Luis Enrique. He already trained him at Barça and now, years later, he continues to value him even more, if possible. “There’s no one like him”, said the coach of Busquets, captain of the national team and a basic player to understand the team’s day-to-day on and off the pitch
