Andrea Pirlo is perhaps the greatest true Regista that has ever played the game; Sergio Busquets is perhaps the most complete all-round defensive midfielder. Different players, different qualities, but both among the greatest footballers that have ever played the game.

Busquets is the most underrated player of all times.
Sad to see busquets not in his prime now.
oh c'mon you joking? no match here. it's an insult to pirlo
People remember Xavi and Iniesta. But Busquets is so underrated.
Anyone remember when Pirlo basically just walked around busquets and set up do natale when they played Spain in 2012
It's cuz of the beards
Obviously that busquets is better to play under pressure , does that mean that if a coach have a player like pirlo will try to avoid building up from behind in front of high pressure teams ? Because now pirlo have only rabiot and danilo as midfielders but he insists to build up from behind
Xabi Alonso belongs up there with those two, he's been consistently excellent for three clubs in three different leagues (that has to count. It's hard to say who is the best in that deep-lying central role but it's definitely between Prilo, Busquets, and Alonso. All played during the same era too.
Pirlo is the quarter back
Busquets is something else
One of the most interesting guys ever,has absolutely zero physicality but makes muscle man look like little kids with his little movements just glides past them with one or two touches one of the most press resistant player ever
your are speaking about busquets versions 2009-20016.Busquets is now a probleme rather than a solution in the Barcelona
Busquets can shine Pirlo’s boots
Busquets is CANNOT be pressured, he play unbelievably in a tight spot, even when was being pressed by 2 players he still manage to find a way to pass or control the ball… Truly Magnificent
Pirlo ten times out of ten.
simple thing
barca dna player at any position >>all other players in the position
Both are useless
and today people start saying Kante is better than BUSQUETS smh 🤦♂️. they'll never appreciate busquets.
Barca may even get the replacement of Messi but won't getting the replacement of defensive midfielder like Busquets. Most underrated player in the history.
I remember in fifa 15 I would never lose when I played with juventas because pirlo produced the right goods
Edit title: one of the best midfielder in the world vs a clown
Busquets great at press resisting and finding the line breaking pass in tight spaces pirlo delivers high level lob passes can play as advance playmaker, both players are slow and aren't that tough yet there technique and IQ payed off
Tifo please make another video conpating the playing style of these two to Ngolo Kante
As they both share the same position, Busquests is more defensive player with line breaking passes and also more than that defensive work. But Pirlo was more into attacking than defensive. His creativity was phenomenal. And he was also a good free kick taker.
As they played the same position there roles were bit different. So comparing both of them are exceptional….
Busquets in my opinion the best CDM in History
forza pirlo 100 forza pirlo. buskest 0 😥
Best Modern day Deep lying midfielder is Kimmich
Busquets underrated player
❤️ Pirlo
As a City fan I hope Rodri gets into this conversation some day in the future as one of the best Registas to play the game
to this day busqets is irreplacable, none matches his profile
Now we have jorginho
1 Pirlo
2 scholes
3 modric
Wouldn’t Toni Kroos fit in this category too
Sorry, busquests was great but he can’t tie pirlos shoes
Pirlo
Verratti entered the chat…..
1:15 Pirlo has also actually played in a double pivot. This was during Italy's victorious World Cup campaign in 2006, when they played something close to a 4-4-1-1.
I would go for Pirlo, his long pass accuracy is crucial especially against a team that park the bus.
Pirlo lacks pace, but his anticipation and position is good, its like a sweeper in midfield. Do not underate his defense
Music pls😊
Rodri is the last of their kind, slowly this position is being replaced by 2 b2b players
