Barcelona’s Sergi Roberto came out and defended the Barcelona academy this week.
Specifically, Sergi talked about one of the club’s most talented youngsters, Riqui Puig, and how important the 19-year-old is to the club.
“Maybe he’s the one talked about the most [in the academy], yes. When he plays, you see different things, little details.
”Maybe the example for him to follow is [Carles] Aleña, a player that’s now in the first team.
“It’s important that these type of players come up and if they can stay with us, even better.
