Expect the Italians to swarm round busquets
I keep saying it but I saw him play for Barcelona against levante 18 months ago and he couldn’t run at all they ran rings round him. Him and pique were dreadful and Messi was sulking
Fantastic day to be in the middle of the levante crowd
I remember iniesta saying years ago busquets had the best touch of any of them
Can he turn back the clock?

Chiellini and Bonucci are no spring chickens. Neither of them were blessed with pace to begin with but they're still playing at the highest level.

Busquets is still technically gifted but he's past his best. I guess defenders have a longer expiration date.
 
This suits us, because Spain are by far the better side.

Get Denmark out of the way, which we will and its in the bag.
