Oriol Busquets makes his first ever Barcelona appearance in Copa del Rey
The Barça B midfielder, who is just 18, makes his debut against Real Murcia
He's similar to Sergio in someways but has nothing to do with the older Busquets
Busquets will make his first start for Barcelona's first team on Wednesday against Real Murcia. Obviously we're now talking about Sergio Busquets, who's spent almost a decade playing on the biggest nights at Camp Nou.
Although we are talking about the same position, in the deep midfield role, and with the same name. Oriol Busquets has nothing to do with Sergio Busquets, though, one of the symbols of this Barça side, but if it seems as if he should. More than anything because they play in the same position, because they came through the club's academy and because, little by little, they have gained the confidence of those that are in charge of the first team.
Against Real Murcia on Wednesday, Oriol Busquets will make his official Barça debut. It's a huge day for him, even if the occasion, the second leg of the round-of-32 tie, isn't the the important occasion it could have been. But it's the first step towards earning a regular spot in the first team.
Oriol Busquets' only previous appearance with the first team (he is a regular in Barça's B team) was when he was named in the squad for the game against Athletic Club by Ernesto Valverde, although he wasn't used.
The 18-year-old joined the club in 2007 and has been waiting for this moment for a decade.
