With the farewell of Busquets, recognized yesterday by the fans as what he is, a legend of the club and one of the best midfielders in history, the final point of the best Barça in history was certified. That of touch and dizzying football, that of the sextet, a team admired all over the world. Sergio, always discreet but fundamental, was the last survivor of that unforgettable squad. Also saying goodbye to Barça was Jordi Alba, who arrived a little later, but who will always be remembered as an extraordinary left back. Both couldn’t hide their excitement, especially Jordi, at embarking on a new path. Of course, it’s difficult to say goodbye to what has been your home for so many years, but Sergio and Jordi have managed to leave on time, through the big door, recognized by everyone. And they haven’t had it easy. Alba wanted to sell him in a bad way, even telling him the club he had to go to. He held on and continued to perform at a high level until Franc’s breakout ended his undisputed status. Busquets’ presence has been dosed and he has received sticks (especially after the tragic nights in Europe), but no one has been able to take his place and he has ended as he started there in 2008, being a starter. Now, aware that time is passing and that it is better to leave before you are thrown, he takes a step to the side even though Xavi wanted him to continue. the honor
Both were great accomplices of Messi in the dressing room and on the field and true references for the younger ones. With them, a staged stage ends with the farewell to the Camp Nou. The seats are removed, the grass is torn up… And the difficult change in Montjuïc is undertaken. Uncertain times are coming for the club, it will not be easy to hook the fans in a temporary home and in another area of the city. On top of that, it will be very difficult to attract fans with big signings. The economic crisis has been lashing for too long and prevents restoring the workforce with powerful additions. It is what it is. It is time, which is no small thing, to trust La Masia more than ever, the true bulwark of the institution. A talent factory that nurtures the first team with extraordinary efficiency. Hopefully the culers manage to get excited again. Xavi’s League will certainly help.
