"It has been an unforgettable journey," he said in the video announcing his departure, adding, "Since I was a child coming to the matches, or watching them on TV, I always dreamed of playing with this shirt at this stadium."
"The reality has exceeded all my dreams. I wouldn't have believed you if you told me when I arrived as a youth player that I would play 15 seasons for the best club in the world, the club of my life, of which I have been, am and always will be a fan, member, player, captain, and surpass 700 matches," Sergio Busquets said in a video released by Barcelona.
In 16 seasons, Busquets has played 714 official matches and over 55956 minutes, during this period he has scored 18 goals. He has won 33 trophies for the Spanish Giants.
Before he hangs his number 5 jersey, Busquets is likely to sign off with another domestic trophy with Barcelona.
Xavi's side are 13 points clear at the top of La Liga and will secure the league title with a victory at Espanyol on Sunday. (ANI)
