It’s a proud moment for the skipper who is now behind only Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos when it comes to his country’s most-capped players.
Busquets has some way to go to catch the former Real Madrid duo but certainly isn’t thinking about hanging up his international boots just yet,
The 33-year-old spoke about the record ahead of the match at a press conference.
“It is a pride to surpass him [Xavi], because of his career, and as a coach I wish him the best,” he said.
