JAKARTA - Barcelona's victory over Real Madrid in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals, Friday, March 3 in the morning WIB, feels very special for Barcelona captain Sergio Busquets.

He not only succeeded in bringing his team to a 1-0 win in that match. Busquets also broke individual records

The Spaniard overtook the record previously held by former teammate Lionel Messi and former Real Madrid player Sergio Ramos. Now Busquets is listed as the player with the most appearances at El Clasico.

Busquet has made his 46th El Clasico appearance in his professional career since 2008. The 34-year-old midfielder has officially passed Messi and Ramos.

Messi and Ramos, who are now playing together at PSG, have each collected 45 appearances at El Clasico.

Busquet is likely to add to his record when Barcelona host Real Madrid at LaLiga on March 20 and Copa del Rey's second leg on April 6.

Busquet himself was delighted by his team's achievements. He saw the Blaugrana playing quite well and being able to overcome attacks from the home team.

"The team played together and tried hard. Real Madrid played a lot of crosss and controlled the ball, but there weren't many dangerous chances from them," Busquet said as quoted by Antara.

"There is still a second leg match and we have to play better if we want to advance to the final," he continued.

Before facing Real Madrid at LaLiga, Barcelona had to play two games against Valencia and Athletic Bilbao.
