Good riddance to bad rubbish. You knew it was coming bc the De Paul deal made no sense if Busquets stayed on the roster. Let’s hope this leads to fewer assaults on children in Leagues Cup.

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.

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.
