Stat of the Day: two defensive pillars
Sergio Busquets and Javier Mascherano have not missed a single match through injury for the last two seasons. During that time, FC Barcelona’s first team has incurred 71 separate injuries [38 last season and 33 in the previous campaign]. When you consider that both men play in potentially high-impact positions, this is an incredible feat.
