Sergio Busquets Suggests Anfield Collapse Was the Low Point of His Barcelona Career

Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets has said his side's Champions League semi-final second leg implosion at Anfield has had a lasting effect on the Barcelona squad, adding that it is the lowest ebb of his career so far.

Barca went to Liverpool leading 3-0 from the first leg, and looked almost assured of a place in the final in Madrid. Having thrown a 4-1 lead against Roma in the quarter-finals last year, however, there were some nerves among the visiting camp, and their worst fears were realised.

They were taken apart by the Reds, who now advance to face Tottenham Hotspur in the final, with four unanswered goals enough to leave Busquets and his side in a state of disarray.
