Sergio Busquets: “We have a final on Tuesday”

Anna Segura


The team knows that much of their Champions League survival hopes hang on Tuesday’s game with Inter. Sergio Busquets has called for the Camp Nou to fill for the game, which he has compared to a final.


“We’ll get through this” said Sergio Busquets who doesn’t want the fans to worry about all the absences in the squad just when they have such an important week ahead, with games against Inter Milan and Real Madrid.

Important game

The Barça squad knows how much depends on a good result on Tuesday at the Camp Nou. In fact, failure to win would seriously endanger their chances of going into the second round of the Champions League. Sergio said in his post-training press conferences that “We have a final on Tuesday. A duel against one of the best teams in Europe”.

Call for support

And we hope the fans respond. He has promised that the players will be giving it 200%, and knows that with the fans behind them, they will be stronger still.

Messi injury

Busquets also spoke about the injury to Messi, although it is still not clear just how serious it really is. “Whoever is available to play will be looking to get through this with all the enthusiasm we have.” He did admit that Messi would be an important loss, but felt they will be able to cover for his absence.

Loss of leadership
The draw at San Mamés along with Madrid’s win against Racing means Barça are no longer top of the league. But Sergio Busquets is not overly concerned by this, because after all “the League is decided at the end of the season”.
