Departing Barcelona captain Sergi Busquets admits recent seasons were the toughest of his career.

The midfielder is leaving Barca this summer and told DAZN the club's financial problems and demands for pay-cuts made it a difficult environment.

He said, "The last few years at the club have been the most bitter part of my career.

"When you don't win titles it's because you haven't competed well, and in the end the players are responsible, but to that is added that the club's situation was not the best on a social level.

"On an economic level we were not all united."
