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)
