Sergio Busquets believes Atletico Madrid poses a bigger threat to Barcelona's La Liga title chances than Real Madrid.

"At the moment, you can say Atletico are stronger than Real Madrid," he told Sport. "Everyone believes they'll fight for the title.

"They're getting better all the time, they have very good players and they'll be there until the end of the season."

Busquets was surprisingly omitted from the FIFPro World XI.

"Everyone likes to be recognised for their work. But a lot of players missed out who had a very good campaign, like a lot of players from our team who won the treble.

"I prefer to do a good job and the important thing is that we fight for the treble on a collective level and then win two more titles."
