They appeared in the photo of two major match plays. Sergio Busquets (34 years old) and Gerard Pique (35) came out again touched by a European debacle. Key parts of the best Barça in history, their final years as Catalans took their toll especially in Europe. The last one, against Inter Milan.
On the team’s first goal Simone Inzaghi, Piquewho Xavi He has been relegated to the bench this season but had to be brought back in due to defensive losses, he came out as portrayed. The centre-back, breaking offside, missed the ball and Barella won with his back to beat Ter Stegen. A goal five minutes into the second half, which left Barça very touched, having finished the first half shutting down Inter and looking for the second.
Ghosts return, confirmed with 1-2, the work of Lautaro. A play directed by Sergio Busquets. The Barça machine suffers especially when the game is crazy because the physicality cannot stand. In Lautaro’s goal play, he lost the ball twice, the second time, the key for Inter to launch a counterattack. Then the Argentine is easy to get rid of Eric Garcia and shoot is adjusted to the stick.
Xavi he switched to ‘Busi’ after just 1-2, showing on the pitch that his team needed some speed. And De Jong gave it to him.
This is not the first time that the two players have been selected. In fact, the sacred cows of the best Barça in history are falling apart as European disasters pass. On Wednesday he did not play Jordi Albathe last to fall. Paris, Turin, Rome, Liverpool, Lisbon against Bayern, Paris again with that picture of Piqué grabbing Mbappé’s shirt… Even last year against Eintracht.
beyond the field, Pique Y Busquets they were also taught at the Assembly last Sunday by Joan Laporta. The president explained, “we tried to lower the salary of some players, but it didn’t work. Not only did it come out, but to comply with ‘financial fair play’, the directors guaranteed 10 million of our personal assets. If some players are discounted, that guarantee should not have been made, we accept it with sportsmanship.” He did not name names, but the players who have met with the club to try to restructure his salary are Piqué and Busquets. They met both them and their agents.
