Busquets was the man in the middle of Barcelona's field. A solid performance from the Spanish player helped Barcelona to control the ball the 79% of the time, which translated into 25 shots (nine shots on target) overall.

Busquets played over 85 minutes before he was subbed up by Chilean Arturo Vidal, who played his first official match in Camp Nou. Barcelona's number five produced many essential plays in Barcelona's midfield.

Also, his defensive awareness did not help Alavés' chances (only three shots, none of those were on target). Catalan fans were happy with the participation from one of its historical players in the squad and gave Busquets a standing ovation as he walked out of the pitch.
