The seventh midfielder on the ranking is Barcelona’s vital defensive-midfielder, Sergio Busquets. Busquets may be the bedrock of the popular La Liga side in the last decade. Emerging from the Barca academy, Busquets has acted as a screen for Barcelona’s centre-backs. He has also been an extra passing option for the team’s tiki-taka style of play.

The number 5 is possibly the best reader of the game in recent times. This trait makes him a tactical and playmaking genius whether his team is on or off the ball. Busquets might be the greatest servant of the game. This is because of playing his whole career as a second-fiddle to many of Barcelona’s other stars.

The Spaniard is a FIFA World Cup winner in 2010 and European champion in 2012. Busquets has also won the Champions League three times and won the La Liga seven times.
