Probs a starter now

🎙| #Bar?aOsasuna | Riqui Puig: ?I am very happy, I think the team is very happy. We are going in the right direction and playing the game in the way we want to.?
🎙| Xavi: ?Riqui?s goal? I am very happy for him. There is competition in the midfield, Frenkie and Nico both didn?t play today as well. We have a competitive midfield and I try to be fair with Riqui as he is training extremely well.?

Almost every club in LaLiga is interested in Riqui Puig according to Sport today.

The emergence of Pedri last season and that of Gavi and Nico this year have meant that he has practically no playing time. Bar?a is going to bet on the three of them for next season, along with De Jong and Busquets. The other midfield spot would be reserved for a physical player and attempts are being made to sign Kessi? from Milan.

With so many troops, the club would open the door to a Riqui Puig who has spent too many months without continuity despite the fact that his performances are exciting when he plays.

So there you have it, the club has realised that Riqui Puig is not a destroyer and doesn't have the physical profile to be. Glad we finally worked that one out.

He played 1/4 the minutes of world class midfielder Pedri yesterday. In those minutes he played as many passes into the final third, as many passes into the box, and twice as many progressive passes as Pedri. He played half the total amount of overall passes, so double the passes per minute.

And yes he apparently missed four of his passes, giving him a completion% of 86,7, compared to Pedris 91,8 in this particular game. 86,7 is quite a long way above Pedris season average of 84,5, even though it is even longer away from his own season average of 93,5...

Nowhere near the player Pedri is.

Pedri have more or less all top teams after him.

Puig be lucky to be playing La Liga in couple years.

Pedri knows how to open game up at high level. Puig has no clue.

Such a master in final third Puig... that he has 23rd best chances created in Barca squad this season... horrific and worse than every midfielder.

Last season... 16th.
