Following Spain’s disappointing early exit from Euro 2020, Barcelona superstar Sergio Busquets has remained tight-lipped about his future with the national team. After the team’s loss to Italy in the semi-finals, Busquets, who captained Spain in the tournament, declined to comment on whether he planned to retire from international football. “It’s not the moment to talk about my future with the national team,” he said. “I need time to process this defeat and reflect on my options.” Busquets, 33, has been a key member of Spain’s midfield for over a decade, making 133 appearances and winning the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012. However, his performances in recent tournaments have come under scrutiny, with some critics arguing that he is no longer the same player he once was. If Busquets does decide to retire from international football, it would be a significant loss for Spain. He is a highly experienced and influential figure, and his absence would leave a void in the team’s midfield. However, Busquets’ decision will ultimately be a personal one. He will need to weigh up his desire to continue playing for Spain with the demands of the job and the potential impact on his club career. For now, Barcelona fans will be hoping that Busquets remains with the national team for at least a little while longer. He is a true legend of the game, and his experience and leadership would be invaluable to Spain in their quest to reclaim their status as one of the world’s best teams.Ilkay Gundogan’s Future with Germany Uncertain After Euro 2024 ExitIlkay Gundogan’s Future with Germany Uncertain After Euro 2024 Exit Following Germany’s quarterfinal defeat to Spain in Euro 2024, Barcelona midfielder Ilkay Gundogan’s future with the national team is uncertain.
