Sergio Busquets is set to depart Barcelona at the end of the season as one of the most important players of all time at the club.
Busquets has won as many as 31 titles since he made the leap to the first team under Pep Guardiola in the 2008/09 season.
Only Lionel Messi (35) and Andres Iniesta (32) have won more trophies for the Blaugrana.
And, if nothing extraordinary happens in the league, Busi will catch up with Iniesta and become the joint-second-most decorated player in Barcelona's history.
Meanwhile, Busquets won the 2010 World Cup and the 2012 European Championships with Spain before announcing his retirement from La Roja at the end of the 2022 World Cup.
How Barcelona try to replace Busquets
It won't be an easy task to fill his void and Xavi Hernandez knows that, as he tried to convince his former teammate to stay put for one more season.
Xavi has always indicated that Busquets was a fundamental piece on the team. Together, they formed the best midfield in the history of Barcelona and the Spanish national team.
Frenkie de Jong is expected to become Barcelona's starting holding midfielder, a position where he feels comfortable as he has repeatedly stated.
Busquets' departure marks the end of the most glorious era in the history of the club, as he is one of the last players remain at Barcelona from the team that won six titles in 2009. The other one was Gerard Pique, who hung up his boots during the World Cup break.How Barcelona try to replace Busquets
