The Barça captain is very satisfied with the new additions to the team and looks forward to the upcoming season

The absence of Xavi meant that Barça captain, Sergio Busquets, had to address the press ahead of their first preseason tie against Inter Miami. At the conference, he congratulated his club for all the recent signings and expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming season.

"A great effort has been made by the club and very big players have arrived in both the offensive and defensive ranks. I am very happy that world-class players have arrived, such as Lewandowski, Raphinha, and the renewal of Ousmane... Plus the squad we had, with Auba, Ferran... I'm very happy because in the end soccer is all about goals and that's the most important thing. This year there will be competition and we hope to finish in the best possible way, competing for and winning the titles", said the veteran from Badia del Vallès. On Lewandowski's arrival, he said, "Yesterday we saw him for the first time and his signing means a lot, he is a world-class striker, he scores many goals during the season, he is very important and he will give us a lot of aspirations, and we hope to help him, that he adapts in the best possible way and as soon as possible. Let him show us what he has been showing for all these years".

Regarding his future replacement, he was sceptical and honest. "In the end, we are a team, and we have to find many players who can play in different positions. Finding a player just like me is impossible, no two players are the same".

"It's my last year of the contract and I'm not ruling anything out. I'm focused on enjoying myself, on competing to the maximum. At the moment there is nothing planned and I am only focusing on the present".

Busquets, who has experienced many preseasons, knows well that this is when the team matures and settles into a rhythm, although he recognizes that it is still early. "We have only been here a few days, but in terms of signings, we have not been able to sign much for years due to the club's situation and this time it is much more exciting. It's time to compete in the games and that will mark how the team is doing".
