One Blaugrana legend was stunned to see another head through the exits over the summer, but life is moving on without an Argentine icon
Sergio Busquets admits that Lionel Messi's departure from Barcelona came as a "shock", but he is convinced that the Liga giants can compete for Champions League glory without the iconic Argentine in their ranks.
The Blaugrana saw the six-time Ballon d'Or winner walk away from Camp Nou as a free agent over the summer, with Paris Saint-Germain embracing the opportunity to acquire the all-time great.
Barca's loss has been their gain, but Busquets is eager to see everyone in Catalunya move on and find other ways of claiming major silverware without the South American superstar leading the charge.
