Sergio Busquets retires from international duty

Sergio Busquets has decided to put an end to his time with the Spanish national squad. The captain of 'La Roja', and also of FC Barcelona, made the announcement today Thursday on social networks.

Winner of the World Cup in 2010 and Euro 2012 wearing the famous red jersey, Busquets has represented Spain for 15 years and amassed 143 caps and two goals. Only Sergio Ramos and Iker Casillas have played more times.

He made his debut in April 2009 in a 2-1 win away to Turkey. He has played in 17 games at four World Cups (2010, 2014, 2018, 2022), equalling the Spanish record held by Ramos and Casillas.
