UEFA Champions League Selection Headache: Sergio Busquets Out for Barcelona-Juventus First Leg

Barcelona will be without midfielder Sergio Busquets in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League clash against Juventus due to yellow card accumulation.

This could prove a real headache for Luis Enrique as he hopes his team can improve upon their last away outing in Europe, a 4-0 loss against Paris Saint-Germain that took a miraculous 6-1 comeback win to overturn.

It was precisely in that historic 6-1 win that Busquets was booked, with the score still 1-0 to Barcelona and the comeback still a far off dream. He was probably thinking it would be next season when he served the ban, but instead, improbably, he’s missing the match this term.
