3) Sergio Busquets is someone Barca can’t do without
There are some who might suggest Barcelona didn’t need Busquets, as they managed to score so many without the central midfielder. But the game was not as comfortable for the Catalans as you would think.
Apart from the flashes of brilliance for the goals, Barca were under the pump many a time during the game, with Leganes playing a high press game against the Catalans The passing through the centre had no composure in Barca's case.
A lot of their attacks came from winning the ball in midfield and Barca couldn’t dominate the play like they usually do. Busquets is very calm under pressure and can always find a pass to a man who is available.
When Barca do come up against bigger and better opposition, the midfield battle will become more telling. It is in those high-intensity games, where Busquets presence plays an important role.
