Sneijder's spicy message to Busquets after his retirement and that few admit

Wesley Sneijder, the former Inter Milan and Dutch national team star, has not held back in a recent interview. The Dutch midfielder has revealed details of his tense relationship with Sergio Busquets, whom he has described as "a crying baby" and "a disgusting player."

In a conversation on the Ziggo Sports program, Sneijder recalled the intense duels he had with the Catalan during their careers. "Busquets was an extremely annoying player, he was always allowed to hit but never receive. As soon as he received a foul, he would start crying. A complete crying baby," the Dutchman assured.

The former Real Madrid player went further and recounted an anecdote that perfectly exemplifies his point of view. "In 2010, in the second leg of the Champions League semifinals, Thiago Motta gave him a push and Busquets started rolling on the ground as if he had been killed. Then he got up as if nothing had happened. Those attitudes really bothered me," said Sneijder.

The rivalry between Sneijder and Busquets transcended the pitch. "I literally had fights with him in every game," confessed the Dutchman. Even once, he told Busquets: "I'll see you in Ibiza this summer and then you and I will talk."

Sneijder's statements have reignited a historic rivalry between Inter Milan and Barcelona, who faced each other in several European finals in the early 2000s. The duels between both teams were always marked by great intensity and, on occasion, by controversial refereeing decisions.
