For years Barcelona have loved developing technical midfielders who can control a game and keep the ball moving all day long, so it’s interesting that Riqui Puig just hasn’t been given a proper chance to prove himself.
He turned 22 in August so he’s passed the point where he could be seen as a prospect – he simply needed to play games, but that was never going to happen under Ronald Koeman.
The Dutch manager has now gone, and it’s been noticed that Puig has a bigger smile than most around the club just now:
Riqui Puig is not hiding his excitement and he didn't send Koeman and fake Farewell message.
