popizaino: Kroos did not play 2013 UCL Knockout stage as he was injured. Midfield was Martinez , Schweini and Muller during which they flogged your Busquet 7-0. Check your memory bank I will say check your memory bank because you definitely witnessed that period, as you are correct that Schweinsteiger was a failed winger, unlike Wikipedia analysts that will tell us Busquet played in Euro 2008 For the records, Schweini competition was against Xavi, he stepped up to him in Euro 2008, World Cup 2010, and was pivotal in UCL 2010, 2013 and World Cup 2014. He had many battles with Xavi and was edged out until Xavi succumbed to injuries in 2014. He was never in contention with a carryalong like Busquet, but the main man Xavi himself. And for the record, Schweini had gone through two years of injury hell before he came to Manure 16 Likes |

popizaino:Schweinsteiger was the tax. Don't compare to that Catalan Olofinjana that rode Xavi and Iniesta's coattails. Marcos Senna won a major tournament with Xaviesta. If Senna played for Barcelona all the things Busquets won Senna would have won. You typing would have won it popizaino:Lmao. You're funny. Same Kroos that missed the quarter, semi and finals in 2013 popizaino:Of course Schweinsteiger was losing. Because he was surrounded with Ivica Olic, Hamit Altintop, Daniel Van Buyten and Mario Gomez. Put Busquets in Bayern, put Schweinsteiger in Barcelona and see what happens. Barca with complete squad chopped 4-0 at Allianz. Spare us weak excuses. Of course in 2015 Barca had MSN and beat a Bayern team without Robben, Ribery and Alaba popizaino:You don't know jack about what you're talking about. Kroos was not even at Bayern for the 2010 Finals run. Muller is a forward and irrelevant to the conversation Passenger Busquets was not even a starter in 2008/2009. They only won because a versatile Yaya Toure had to drop to play CB. Quarters and semis Busquets came off the bench or didn't play at all. The Catalan Olofinjana only made it cos Puyol couldn't go Yaya Toure, Marcos Senna all players that paired with the combination of Xaviesta or Alonso and won major international tournaments. Literally if they put you on the pitch to take Busquets place that stacked Spain would have won 4 Likes |

TLona1:We're talking relevant tournaments you're calling UEFA Nations League. A glorified friendly that UEFA used to replace friendly matches. Why not Shell or Principal's Cup. What of Euro 2016, WC 2014 and 2018. Where Spain could not pass second round Why is it an irrelevant tournament you're hanging hat on 3 Likes |

donstan18: I have no issue with a Uber limited Catalan Olofinjana like Sergio Fraudsquet. He's a MID player. He puts the MID in midfield donstan18:It's not what I said, it's what happened. It's facts not opinions. Yaya Toure and Marcos Senna played DM with Xaviesta and won the CL and Euros. Never compare that Fraudsquets to the Fussballgott. If Schweinsteiger played with Xaviesta at club and country level it would have been scary. Them no born Busquets papa well to leave Barcelona. He would end up in Al Hilal in 1 season flat. This is a fraud that since Xaviesta retired has overseen the biggest collapses in the history of European football. donstan18:Sergio Fraudsquets is down 14-2 in the last 3 meetings vs Bayern Munich. If Sergio Fraudsquets was born in Bavaria and not the Catalan he would be serving Bratwursts and Weissbier. The most MID midfielder who had the fortune of playing with the most elite talent in football history. It's easy to get ratings when you have Xaviesta, Alonso, Silva, Messi, Eto'o, Neymar,Ramos, Suarez to boast of as teammates 5 Likes 1 Share |

A40:I don’t think you’re even getting my point. Personally, I don’t rate Busquet because he’s not my kind of DM and i believe he was the least performer of that midfield trio then. So don’t think I rate him that much. The truth I’ll keep saying is that no Bundesliga DM dead or alive will lace his boot in any football metric you decide to use. It’s the truth, pure fact. Me, not liking Busquet won’t change this bitter fact. There’re truths that MUST stand no matter how sentimental we try to come off. 2 Likes |

Ibime: At least he ( kross) played against Arsenal and that was in the round of 16. Secondly,beating Conte's Juventus especially in the knockstage of UCL shouldn't be seen as an achievement. Wesly Schneider who was on his last leg at galatasary did it in the group stage the season to follow. And also should knocking out Barcelona without a decent coach be considered an achievements either. For everytime he came up against Xavi in the midfield there was Sergio Busquet doing the most difficult job to make Xavi's work seamless. 6 Likes |

donstan18: I don't rate Busquets at all, I am well aware he benefited largely from Catalan tax and at no point since his benefactors retired has he shown himself anywhere. He's an interchangeable piece and comparing him with key cogs in the wheel like a Schweinsteiger, a Matthaus (not a full time DM tbh) is borderline criminal I have a theory that any midfielder that played with Xaviesta and Alonso would have had same success. Yaya Toure and Marcos Senna have largely proven this Forget Catalan tax. Fraudsquets is not better than Kimmich 2 Likes |

A40:Same reason it’ll be justified for someone to rate Aguero, Suarez and Kane over Lewandowski who hasn’t done anything reasonable without Bundesliga tax. I sincerely don’t care who Busquet played with for him to achieve what he did, I don’t care who carried him because almost all the top rated footballers in the world got carried, they didn’t do it alone. I’m just stating it as it is, the truth as it is, the fact that remains that no Bundesliga DM will come close to Busquet no matter the football metric you use. 2 Likes |

A40: Like Didier Drogba, like Busquet. They are never good enough until others are asked to come and fill their role and they Lule. Torres was banging goals at Liverpool till he was asked to lead the line at Chelsea. What we did hear at the end of the day was that Drogba was using Jazz, I guess you can't say the same for Busquet because he is not black, so let use a more familiar term,La Masia Tax . We all saw how it went with Masherano and Alexander Song trying to fill that Role. Ma fi nu mi,mo monje. Your almighty Yaya Toure played with this two players earlier before then and we saw what happened, they were struggling to even get a shot on target against man United The same man united they now defeated with ease with sergio Busquet. Infact the midfield even had Deco who was seen as a better player than either of the Spanish duo as at that time and they couldn't do anything with yaya Toure but anybody would have won with this duo including German Salif Kieta himself . Van Gaal who converted your failed winger to a DM wouldn't even see need to, if ever had the privileged of having Sergio Busquet as that time. That's how key Sergio Busquet is to that role. And also if your failed winger had been Spanish,nobody would recognize him with his one way football. 2 Likes |

homesteady:Sergio Fraudsquets. The Catalan Olofinjana when he doesn't have Xaviesta as backup. These are the kin cricket scoreline his teams concede Imagine mentioning that joker in the conversation of elite DMs just because he was born smack dab in the prime of the best midfielders arguably in football history.

donstan18:Shebi it's also Bundesliga teams Lewandowski is facing in Champions League that's why he's 3rd all time scorer only behind Messi and Ronaldo Suarez has the luxury of Messi and Neymar as teammates. Remind me who is the equivalent of that at Bayern Harry Kane? Aguero? Awada kerikeri Busquets is MID. And has never been excellent or a difference maker ever in his career. Yaya Toure and Marcos Senna are living proof anyone can get the same results playing in that loaded squad. If you put Sani Keita in that squad, put Kazeem Ayila, Christian Obodo, Emeka Ezeugo the destroyer, anybody at all. Same result 6 Likes |
