#3 Provides stability to the team
He provides Barcelona with the much-needed balance. Without his vital defensive steel and subsequent team shape, the Catalans would not be able to play with the freedom they enjoy.
He sure is not an out-and-out destroyer, but he is the reason Barca's attacking players play freely on the pitch. He is a total workhorse, a box to box midfielder. Good at regaining possession, does vital interceptions and reads the play well.
Rakitic participates in both the attacking and the defending aspects; something midfielders are asked to do. However, Rakitic does it with a certain degree of flair and that is what makes him one of a kind. Well, you are supposed to play the best level of football when playing alongside Busquets.
