    Soccer News: Busquets is unsure of Spain’s future as he looks to Euro 2020 glory

    Sergio Busquets expects this to be his last European with Spain, but the midfielder hasn’t decided when to end his international career.

    Busquets lifted the World Cup in 2010 and played his part in La Roja’s Euro 2012 triumph nine years ago.

    The Barcelona player has another major trophy in his sights, with Spain facing Italy in the Euro 2020 semi-final at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday.

    Spain captain Busquets thought about his future with the national team at 32, but says beating the Azzurri is the only thing he has in mind for now.

    She told AS: “You have to think about when to finish your period. What I have in mind is that this will be the last European Championship and then it depends.

    “You have to go step by step, I’m not 20 anymore. I feel very good, I am very comfortable in the group.

    The coach always says that age does not matter, that as long as you are well he will have who is better and who is worthy, then we’ll see.

    “Right now I’m thinking about the semi-final with Italy, which is the important thing, then there’s the Nations League in October and we’ll see.

    “A year can be very long, I am very excited, but I am also responsible and I want the best for me and for everyone”.

    Busquets says Spain are lucky to have Luis Enrique at the helm of the national team.

    “It is very difficult to reach the semifinals,” he added. Football has evolved a lot and it is difficult to win any match because all the teams work very hard, they have a very high level of scouting, of staff, individually the players are given a bonus in all aspects, mental, physical, nutritional.

    “But I knew Luis Enrique’s work at this stage was very good. It is very difficult to see a top-level manager on a national team because normally such coaches are with a team during the day.

    “We are fortunate and privileged to have Luis Enrique here. He is developing his idea, with his team, with players he believes in, with great ambition and which is reflected on the pitch. “
