Hupu September 30th Spanish legendary midfielder Busquets recently announced that he will officially retire after the end of the US professional league season, and Barcelona and even the global football world will lose a historic midfielder.

"Actually, I have been thinking about it for a long time, although it was officially announced a few days ago. After all, this is the inevitable law of life, football, the entire sports industry. I am grateful for everything, but now, my attention is still focused on the remaining MLS seasons. We must strive to get as high as possible in the regular season and then sprint in the playoffs," Busquets concluded before saying goodbye to professional football.

He also talked about the reason for making this decision: "It's obvious that I know it's the last year of my contract. After you have played for so many years, so many games, and so many journeys, in the end, not only physically but mentally, it's time. My family and I think it's the best choice, and my football story will come to an end here."

"I have always said that I'm very happy to be able to reunite with Messi, Mascherano, Alba and others again. That's how football is, Right? Now we are here to enjoy the final stages of our career, with different goals, on different stages. Being able to reunite with teammates, whether on the same team or as an opponent, is the best thing for me. As I said before, we will try our best to reach higher rankings in the regular season so that we can have a home advantage in the playoffs. Hopefully I can end my career with another championship – this is the only trophy I lack at the moment and the goal our team has been striving for throughout the year.”
