Busquets makes 350th Barcelona appearance against Roma
Sergio Busquets, who was surprisingly left off Uefa’s list of nominees for their annual awards on Tuesday, remains a fundamental part of Barcelona’s side. Against Roma, at Camp Nou, he took part in his 350th game for the first team.
His appearances are as follows:
—La Liga: 224
—Champions League: 72
—Copa del Rey: 39
—Spanish Super Cup: 9
—European Super Cup: 3
—Club World Cup: 3
He is in his eighth season with the first team. The son of former Barça goalkeeper Carlos Busquets, he made his debut under Pep Guardiola on September 13, 2008 in a 1-1 draw with Racing — he was 20 at the time.
Since then, this is his season-on-season record:
2008-2009: 41 games (3 goals)
2009-2010: 52 games (1 goal)
2010-2011: 46 games (1 goal)
2011-2012: 52 games (2 goals)
2012-2013: 45 games (1 goal)
2013-2014: 48 games (3 goals)
2014-2015: 47 games (1 goal)
2015-2016: 19 games (0 goals)

Liga (5): 2008-2009, 2009-2010, 2010-2011, 2012-13, 2014-2015
