Legendary midfielder Sergio Busquets has officially confirmed that he will retire at the end of the 2025 MLS season, drawing the curtain on a glittering career that has spanned nearly two decades.
Currently playing for Inter Miami alongside his former Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi, Busquets has been a cornerstone in world football, known for his intelligence, composure, and unmatched ability to control games from midfield.
Busquets’ achievements are staggering:
- 3 Champions League titles with Barcelona.
- 9 La Liga titles.
- 2010 FIFA World Cup winner with Spain.
- 2012 European Championship winner.
He joined Inter Miami in 2023 as part of the club’s high-profile recruitment drive and helped transform the team into an MLS powerhouse. While he is no longer at his physical peak, his influence on and off the pitch remains invaluable.
In his retirement statement, Busquets thanked Barcelona, Inter Miami, and the fans worldwide who supported him, noting: “Football has given me everything. Now is the right time to step aside and enjoy new challenges in life.”
His retirement will mark the end of an era for one of the greatest holding midfielders the game has ever seen. From the famed tiki-taka style under Pep Guardiola to his final years in MLS, Busquets leaves behind a legacy that will inspire generations to come.
