Carles Busquets Barroso (Catalan: [busˈkɛts];[1] born 19 July 1967) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper, mostly for Barcelona.

Football career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Busquets was a FC Barcelona graduate who possessed very good technical skills for a player in his position,[2][3] and he made his La Liga debut for the first team on 7 November 1993 in a 2–1 home win over Racing de Santander,[4] going on to appear in the following two games. However, he was mostly back-up for Spanish international Andoni Zubizarreta during his first years; he did manage to feature in the 1990–91 European Cup Winners' Cup final in a 1–2 loss against Manchester United, with two goals from Mark Hughes.[5]

After Zubizarreta left for Valencia CF Busquets played 69 league matches in two seasons combined,[6] and was also on goal in the 4–0 thrashing of Manchester United in the group stage of 1994–95's UEFA Champions League,[7] but during this period Barça failed to win any silverware. For the following campaigns he was again back-up, first to Portugal's Vítor Baía then Dutchman Ruud Hesp, and also clashed with new manager Louis van Gaal.[8]

Until his retirement in October 2002 Busquets played a further four seasons with neighbouring UE Lleida, spending two apiece in Segunda División and Segunda División B.[9] Afterwards he joined Barcelona's coaching staff, and worked with the goalkeepers.[10][11]

Personal life

Busquets' son, Sergio,[12] also a product of Barcelona's youth system, was promoted to the main squad for 2008–09, playing as a defensive midfielder. He reached the national team the following year, winning the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa as a starter.
