5 best midfielders in La Liga this season

#1 Sergio Busquets (Barcelona)

Sergio Busquets is probably the most underrated player in world football

The all-conquering Barcelona side have a forward line which is the envy of the whole world. However, the player who is most vital for Barcelona’s unique system to work is Sergio Busquets.

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 Barcelona and his good form is one of the main reasons for the Catalan giants' resurgence this season.

While the likes of Messi, Suarez and Iniesta always run away with the plaudits, Busquets is perhaps the most important player of this team. Quite simply put, when Busquets plays well, Barcelona plays well.
