"I'm making the most of my final moments," says Sergio Busquets | OneFootball

Although he is living his final moments as a professional player, Spanish midfielder Sergio Busquets said this Wednesday that he is enjoying the end of his career at Inter Miami, which will play the MLS Eastern Conference semifinal next weekend.

The defensive midfielder, who announced in September that he will retire at the end of the North American season, could hang up his boots as soon as this Sunday, if Inter does not beat FC Cincinnati.

“Since the announcement, I knew there was less and less time left,” said the player at a press conference at the Florida club’s training center.

“The important thing is to have a clear conscience and be confident in the decision. I’m enjoying these last moments,” he added.

Inter Miami will return to action after the FIFA break and will visit Cincinnati at TQL Stadium to try to qualify for a conference final for the first time.

The team, led by Argentine coach Javier Mascherano, returned to training on Monday and had its main players available, including superstar Lionel Messi.

Tough match

“We expect a very tough game,” said Busquets, the third player with the most appearances (113) in Inter Miami’s history. “They are very strong at home and have been doing very well for several years. It’s going to be a challenge for us.”

“I’m not going to be hypocritical and compare this challenge to more important ones, but I’m very motivated. It’s an honor to be part of the club’s growth with my teammates,” added the Spaniard.
