After an era defined by Busquets, Barca has the unenviable task of replacing him this season But is that possible? Or is that even the right question to ask?
Willl Barca actually find a Busquets regen?
The club has tried to hold on to its past for the past decade without much success. Oriol is not Busquets. He will never be. But he can be Oriol. Good in certain things that Barca have lacked in the past few seasons.
So- will he be a band aid or a sum of the parts that solves for situations where the team struggles?
Depends on Xavi.
In this video we take a look at what Oriol possibly can be for this Barca team. Stats, clips, tactical formations from the way we understand the game.
