Barcelona captain Sergio Busquets has sent a typically classy message after overtaking Andres Iniesta for appearances for the club.
The midfielder chalked up outing no. 675 against Real Sociedad on Thursday to move into third place in the club’s all-time list.
Busquets is now behind only Lionel Messi and Xavi and celebrated with his team-mates after the win at the Reale Arena.
The veteran also had a classy message on social media, admitting that it felt “special” to overtake Iniesta and revealing it’s a landmark he never expected to reach.
“Yesterday’s game was very special for me, I’ve reached 675 games with Barcelona and I’m in the top 3 of players with the most games in the history of the best club in the world, beating my friend and teammate Andres Iniesta who I admire and appreciate very much.
