Spanish midfielder and 2010 World Cup winner Sergio Busquets announced his international retirement on Friday, IgbereTV reports
“I would like to announce that after almost 15 years and 143 matches, the moment has arrived to bid farewell to the national team,” wrote the 34-year-old Barcelona stalwart on his social media platforms.
Busquets is the last member of the 2010 team to bow out of international football — he was also part of the team that won the 2012 European title.
He was captain of the 2022 World Cup side that fell to a penalty shoot-out defeat to Morocco in the last 16.
Only his fellow 2010 team-mates Iker Casillas (167) and Sergio Ramos (180) represented Spain more often than him
