Rio Ferdinand has claimed that Sergio Busquets left him 'feeling like a Conference player' in Barcelona's 2-1 Champions League final triumph over Manchester United in 2011.
The Barcelona midfielder has impressed for Spain throughout the European Championships.
His first-half performance in the semi-final against Italy, reminded Ferdinand of the day he went up against Busquets at Wembley.
Providing half-time analysis for the BBC of the Euro 2020 semi-final at the same stadium, Ferdinand: 'It was here at Wembley, and we got abused in that game by Barcelona, they were brilliant.
'So your confidence is low and I was trying to get the ball back from him [Busquets] at a throw-in and he just said 'ah Ferdinand, Vidic, boom, boom, boom' [imitating passes]. I felt like a Conference player.'
On the Spaniard's performance against Italy, Ferdinand said: 'He has bossed this game and he's a fabulous player to watch.'
United struggled against Barcelona in the final, two years after they lost to the Catalan club in the final in Rome.
Pedro fired Barcelona ahead only for Wayne Rooney to equalise on the half-hour mark.
Lionel Messi then made it 2-1 before David Villa added a third to seal the trophy for one of the greatest club sides of all time.
Busquets has been a regular for Barcelona ever since, making 629 appearances for the club since 2008.
