There is a generational change FCBarcelona. The farewell of Sergio Busquets It does not only mean the departure of a club legend and an irreplaceable footballer. For nostalgics, it means the end of an era; from a period that was already starting to become distant and that will now definitely belong to the past. When the season is over, none of the golden generation of the culé team will be on the field.

The names can be recited from memory: Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, Piqué, Alves, ‘Pedrito’, Valdes… and Busquets. He was the last survivor of the figures who achieved what no one had achieved then: the ‘sextet’. LaLiga, Copa del Rey, Champions League, European Super Cup, Spanish Super Cup and Club World Cup of a ‘tick’.
It’s been almost 14 years now Barcelona conquered the world in 2009but the best promotion of footballers the blaugranas have had has slowly been undone. Iniesta left in 2018, Messi in 2021, Dani Alves returned to Barcelona for a few months last year and Gerard Piqué hung up his boots this season. He Barcelona DNA resisted, but in the end the circle is closed.
