Riqui Puig says he ‘never had a coach who fully trusted’ him at Barcelona

Riqui Puig has been officially presented as an LA Galaxy player after leaving Barcelona and could make his MLS debut in the team’s next match against the Seattle Sounders.

The midfielder has moved after failing to secure regular football at Barca despite being one of the club’s most highly-regarded young talents.

Puig played under several coaches at the Camp Nou but never managed to convince any of his qualities and he admits that made him lose confidence.

Had a sit down today with #LAGalaxy’s Riqui Puig & mentioned something interesting about struggling to live up to expectations at Barcelona.
