5 world class players who don't get the attention they deserve

#1 Sergio Busquets

A major reason for Barcelona’s supreme attacking play over the past few seasons, Busquets is the unsung hero of this Barcelona side. The Spaniard often does the dirty work in the middle of the park without which Barcelona cannot play the beautiful football they are renowned for. Busquets is known for the pivotal midfield anchor role that he plays for both Barcelona and the Spanish national side.

A hard-working player, he excels at breaking down opposition plays due to his positional sense, defensive attributes, tactical intelligence, and ability to read the game. He is the reason Barcelona can play flawless tiki-taka without moving into their defensive half.

The importance of Busquets to the team can perhaps be best summed up by Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos. In spite of the rivalry and one incidence of a red card earned due to Busquets' play acting, this is what Sergio Ramos had to say about him: "There are a number of players I like, but the one we perhaps need is Busquets."

In a team full of superstars, Busquets’ contribution often goes unnoticed, but there is no doubting the fact that he is one of the most important players in Luis Enrique’s side.
