#4 Sergio Busquets
Sergio Busquets is the heartbeat of Barcelona’s famed midfield and probably the most tactically intelligent player in the world. Having amazing vision, strength, defensive awareness, and a brilliant range of passing, Busquets is exceedingly important to the Catalan’s unique style of play.
His performances, on many an occasion, have been nothing short of masterful. However, his theatrics on the pitch make him a player who is not as appreciated as he should be.
Busquets was always known for making the most of a foul, or taking advantage of situations with simulation, but the hate really started pouring in after his play acting got former Inter man Thiago Motta sent off in the Champions League clash at the Camp Nou in 2010.
After the game – which the Jose Mourinho led Inter heroically won – Motta said, “I have seen it on TV and he is holding his face and then looking at the ref. It is terrible behaviour. He always does it.”
