The 37-year-old pass on the soul of the passport, the Spanish Golden Generation 6 midfielder is about to come to an end!

On September 26, 2025, the autumn sun at Miami International Training Base threw fine light spots on Busquets' training suit through the palm treetops. The 37-year-old midfielder announced his retirement after the end of this season, and the Spanish "Golden Generation" midfield legend is about to come to an end.

Lamacia's magic enlightenment: the genetic code of football wisdom

In the Lamacia Youth Training Camp north of Barcelona, ​​the shadow of the sycamore tree hides the ultimate code of the football world. When 12-year-old Xavi touched the ball for the first time, he would not have thought that he would use 187 national team appearances to rewrite history; Iniesta's figure chasing the ball on the court, which later turned into a fatal straight pass in the 2010 World Cup final; when Busquets was a caddie in the youth team, he had long been accustomed to picking up footballs that were accurately passed by his predecessors.

This football temple that cultivates Messi, Xavi and Iniesta has been practicing the philosophy of "playing football with your mind" for ten years. In the 2008 European Cup final, when Xavi sent a scalpel straight through in the 92nd minute and Torres calmly pushed the ball into the goal, the entire European football world was shocked: it turned out that football could run like a precision clock.

Legend Moment: In the 2012 European Cup final, Xavi's "death connection" with Iniesta in the first 14 minutes of the game caused the Italian defense to collapse instantly. Of the 6 goals in that game, 5 were from the exquisite cooperation of the midfield masters.

Charity Project: Establish a football school in the Basque Country to support poor children's training

The afterglow of the tactical revolution: When passing and controlling meets the new era, Guardiola increased the ball possession rate to 72% at Manchester City, Alonso's "dynamic pass and controlling" at Leverkusen increased the shot conversion rate by 23%, Iniesta proved in the J League that tiki-taka can still bloom gorgeous flowers. These coaches prove in different ways: the philosophy of transmission and control has never been outdated, but it only needs to resonate with the times.

Eternal Football Psalm: Football Philosophy beyond the times

The Golden Generation proves with career: Football is not only a contest between muscles and speed, but also a game of wisdom and rhythm. Today, when artificial intelligence is gradually penetrating the field of football, this Eastern philosophy of "using softness to overcome hardness" has become the key to cracking machine football.

The never-ending football poem, when Busquets touched the turf of the stadium for the last time, when Xavi used a tablet to analyze tactics on the side of the training ground, and when Iniesta bowed to the applause of the visiting fans of the J League, what we see is not only the curtain call of the legend, but also the eternal life of the football spirit. These masters who write history with passes have long injected the soul of football into the genes of the new era - there is both the rational light of technology and the warmth of human nature.

They took away only time, but what they left was the password to keep football young forever. In this era of algorithms and data dominance, perhaps we need such a football poet more than ever - telling the most moving stories with the simplest movements; and ignite the ever-extinguishing green fire with the purest love.

After many years, are you willing to call Professor Busquets a "Barcelona celebrity"?
