Sergio Busquets and the end of an era Barcelona Blamed for Champions League exit

Barcelona's Anfield humiliation proved that Sergio Busquets can't contribute to the team in the ways that we've been used to seeing, and applauding.

Busquets and the team were whistled at the Camp Nou during their match with Getafe on Sunday and have been through a difficult season despite winning LaLiga Santander.

Some footballers shine on TV, some you don't even notice. Busquets falls into that second category and tries to dictate every game that he plays.

If Pep Guardiola gave him the keys to Barcelona's midfield, first in the youth team and then in the first team, it's because the coach knew that he had what it takes.

There aren't many players that can play the Barcelona way in the holding midfield role, but now Rodri has emerged.

Many pointed the blame at Busquets for the Liverpool defeat, especially when they saw the passion and fight that Arturo Vidal showed.

It's harsh to put the blame on a quiet player who has given his life to Barcelona, through the good times and the bad.
