#5 Sergio Busquets, Barcelona
The Spanish international is one of the greatest midfielders of the 21st century. He has been phenomenal for Barcelona and Spain over the years and has lifted numerous silver-ware. The 30-year-old possesses great tactical awareness and ability to read the game.
Busquets has great positional sense and his defensive abilities are exceptional. Combined with his vision and passing, there are not a lot of players in the world who can do the job better than the Spaniard.
Former Spain Manager Vicente del Bosque praised Busquets, saying,
"If you watch the whole game, you won't see Busquets—but watch Busquets, and you will see the whole game"
