Riqui Puig was a happy man after playing all 90 minutes for Barcelona in Saturday’s 5-1 La Liga win over Alaves at the Camp Nou.
The 21-year-old was named in a youthful starting line-up, that also featured Ilaix Moriba, Francisco Trincao and Oscar Mingueza, and played the entire match for the first time this season.
Puig spoke to reporters after the game and thanked Koeman for giving him another chance and also offered his backing to Ilaix after a bad mistake led to a goal in the second half.
“We have a very good run, seven victories in the League says how we are doing.
