FC Barcelona has been considering a replacement for Sergio Busquets for too long. So far the patches have arrived and experiments within the template were not satisfactory. It is now a chronic ‘problem’ for which a solution must be sought. There is no one else. ‘5’ is going. One of the keepers of the best era in the club’s history bids farewell.
