Sad to see this type of behaviour indeed https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6602744/2025/09/05/suarez-busquets-suspended-inter-miami-leagues-cup/

However, what are you referring to for "assaults on children"? I did a quick search but couldn't find anything

Obed Vargas is still a child and Busquets very much did punch him on camera after the Leagues Cup final.

That man is 20 years old

Aw, I guess I’m getting old. I still think of him as the 15 year old he was when he played in ccl. Still, Busquets shouldn’t have hit him, regardless of how ineffectual the actual punch was.
