Sergio Busquets

“It's very difficult to reach World Cup and Champions League finals and I want to experience those things again.”

“This is football, no more explanation, sometimes the best team does not win.”

“We always go out to win.”

“Truth to be told, yes, it does feel very strange to be in the Spain setup without Xavi. Ever since I broke through for Barca and Spain he's always been around. We've always had a great relationship and he's always set an example in every way, when it comes to camaraderie, how much help he's given me and, above all, in footballing terms.”

“Whatever the coach wants. I'll be his man.”

“Romeu is a physical and very powerful player.”

“If I lose the ball I cause the team a problem. I am here to provide solutions.”

“There are a lot of great midfielders in the world, with each having their own unique style.”

“More than stopping the counter-attack when it happens you want to prevent it from starting.”

“We want to win every competition we play in.”

“I'm a team player who needs to work a lot and sacrifice myself for the success of the group.”

“On a tactical level the defensive midfielder in a 4-3-3 formation is just about the most demanding position there is.”

“I love my role, I love the job I do.”

“In the world of football only the results are important.”

“You always have to look at every game and seek to correct mistakes.”

“Bit by bit my work is being recognised. I am very happy at that.”

“It sounds elementary, but I've seen some really talented kids leave Barca because they wouldn't listen or thought they had become a professional before they did. If you are not good in a group then you don't have a place at Barca.”

“It's an honour to be able to wear the No.5 jersey and that Carles Puyol thought of me to inherit it.”

“When you're young it's boring to be a keeper.”

“You don't lose because of one play.”
