Busquets Atletico Bigger Threat To La Liga Title Than Real Madrid - RealGM Wiretap

Sergio Busquets believes Atletico Madrid poses a bigger threat to Barcelona's La Liga title chances than Real Madrid.

"They're getting better all the time, they have very good players and they'll be there until the end of the season."

Busquets was surprisingly omitted from the FIFPro World XI.

"I prefer to do a good job and the important thing is that we fight for the treble on a collective level and then win two more titles."
