Sergio Busquets was the best passer in last season's Champions League.

The midfielder topped UEFA's charts when it came to finding his teammates, ending with 93% passing accuracy - hitting the mark with 927 of his 995 attempted passes.

Behind Busquets was another LaLiga man: Toni Kroos. The Real Madrid midfielder finished with the same passing accuracy as Sergio (93%) but with less passes attempted: 641 out of 692.

In third place was Busquets' teammate Ivan Rakitic. He finished with 92% passing accuracy, finding a teammate with 854 passes from his 927 attempts. 

 

Next on the list is future Barça star Frenkie de Jong with 90% (749 / 828) and Juventus' Miralem Pjanic with 89% (595 / 667).
