Sergio Busquets named Nations League Player of the Finals

Barcelona captain Sergio Busquets has been named the UEFA Nations League Player of the Finals after Sunday’s final in Italy.

The midfielder was part of the Spain side that lost 2-1 to champions France but there was some consolation for the 33-year-old who went home with the trophy for the best player.

Busquets played 90 minutes in both of Spain’s matches against Italy and France, picking up an assist in the final and ending the two games with a passing accuracy of 94%.

The skipper hasn’t enjoyed the best start to the season with Barcelona but has offered a reminder of his talents during the international break with Spain.
