Sergio Busquets of Spain has been named Hisense Player of the Finals following the UEFA Nations League final at Milan's San Siro.
Robbie Keane, UEFA Technical Observer: "He controlled both games, dictated the play and made the players around him better."
The Spain captain dominated the midfield battle in his side's semi-final victory against Italy, shielding the defence and spreading passes around – prompting Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport to hail him as a "maestro". He was similarly important in the final versus France, setting up Mikel Oyarzabal's opening goal before Les Bleus fought back to clinch the trophy.
