Busquets as vital as ever at Barcelona

This shouldn't need saying any more, but Sergio Busquets is very good at football.

This week, UEFA's official website released a 40-man shortlist from which they asked their readers to vote for the 2015 Team of the Year that will be announced in January. The list includes four goalkeepers, 12 defenders, 12 midfielders, 12 forwards... and no Busquets. Never mind that he played at the heart of the team that claimed a unique treble, winning La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the European Cup, or that the manager of the team described him as the best midfielder in the world; there's no place for him.
