Goodbye! A generation of midfield masters decided to retire!

Just, Miami International midfielder star Busquets announced that he would retire after the end of the 2025 season.

Busquets is 37 years old and has had rumors about his retirement, and now he personally confirmed the news on Ins.

Busquets said: "Thank you all, thank you so much for football, thank you for everything it has given me. You will always be part of this beautiful story."

In Xiao Ou's opinion, Busquets is one of the greatest midfielders in history, and he redefined this position. Busquets comes from La Macia's youth training and has played the midfield pillar of Barcelona and the Spanish national team for a long time and has achieved great success.

He has played for Barcelona for 15 years in his career, contributing 18 goals and 46 assists in 721 appearances, making him the third most games in the team history. In terms of honor, he helped Barcelona win 9 La Liga titles, 7 Cup of Kings REU titles, 3 Champions League titles, 3 Club World Cup titles, 3 European Super Cup titles and 7 Spanish Super Cup titles.

In the Spanish national team, Busquets made 143 appearances to contribute 2 goals and 9 assists, and also ranked third in the team's history in the number of appearances. Moreover, his glory in the national team is comparable to that of the club, helping Spain win the 2010 World Cup and the 2012 European Cup.

In the twilight years of his career, Busquets moved to the American League and reunited with his former Barcelona teammates Messi, Alba and Suarez at Miami International. So far, he has made 105 appearances for Miami, contributing 2 goals and 9 assists.

There are rumors that Busquets' decision to retire is partly due to his lack of interest in renewing his contract. In addition, for DePaul, Miami International needs to free up a designated player (DP) spot. Busquets' contract expires at the end of the season and the club has no intention of continuing to work with him.

It is worth mentioning that after Busquets retired, Barcelona's 11 starting players will be left with only Messi (Miami International) and Pedro (Lazio) to continue their battles.

Finally, how do you evaluate Busquets' career?
