The 37-year-old Spaniard, who currently plays for Inter Miami alongside Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba, will thus bid farewell to the pitch after nearly two decades at the very top. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-16d9571d5135017623b78ed87fe7b652\">Busquets grew up in the La Masia academy and made his debut for FC Barcelona&#8217;s first team in 2008. Since then, he has played more than 700 games for the Catalan giants, winning nine La Liga titles, three Champions League trophies and becoming an irreplaceable part of Pep Guardiola&#8217;s legendary team. His ability to read the game, his calmness on the ball, and his passing accuracy have made him the brain of the midfield, allowing Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta to create footballing artistry.  <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.factgol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/tinywow_xkukejzg_84585831-780x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5617\" style=\"width:285px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.factgol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/tinywow_xkukejzg_84585831-780x1024.webp 780w, https:\/\/www.factgol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/tinywow_xkukejzg_84585831-228x300.webp 228w, https:\/\/www.factgol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/tinywow_xkukejzg_84585831-768x1008.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.factgol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/tinywow_xkukejzg_84585831-1170x1536.webp 1170w, https:\/\/www.factgol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/tinywow_xkukejzg_84585831.webp 1179w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sergio Busquets (<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1971400402290852022\/photo\/1\"> X\/ Fabrizio Romano<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9d2b9110e8eb2227afd4cb5907fbb652\">At the national team level, Busquets was a pillar of Spain&#8217;s &#8220;golden generation.&#8221; In 2010, he became world champion, and two years later he added the European Championship title. In total, he played 143 games for the national team. After leaving Barcelona in 2023, he joined Inter Miami, where he contributed to winning the Leagues Cup and Supporters&#8217; Shield. Now, as the MLS season draws to a close, Busquets has announced that it is time to say goodbye to soccer.     <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"oceanwp-oembed-wrap clr\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8BREAKING: Sergio Busquets has announced his retirement from football after this current MLS season. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OQQeHjiJwL\">pic.twitter.com\/OQQeHjiJwL<\/a><\/p>&mdash; MC (@CrewsMat10) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CrewsMat10\/status\/1971401657771823436?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 26, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c965560a6ae0107c62b4b24f800c4459\">It was an incredible journey, a dream come true.
