Sergio Busquets tips Barcelona to contend for Champions League title

Former Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets believes the club holds the potential to capture the Champions League title this season. Currently serving as an assistant for the Barcelona reserve side, Busquets credits manager Hansi Flick and the quality of the squad for their current prospects. Barcelona has not secured the European Cup since 2015, a drought Busquets hopes the current roster can break. The former player also expressed admiration for the progress of Como under manager Cesc Fabregas following a 4-1 victory over RB Leipzig in the competition. Busquets suggested that the current Champions League format provides opportunities for teams like Como to compete against top sides. He further remarked that if Fabregas continues his current trajectory, he could eventually become a candidate to manage Barcelona.
