Ricard "Riqui " Puig Martí is a Spanish football player who plays for FC Barcelona B. A central midfielder who is 1.69m tall, slightly less than Messi at 1.7m and Iniesta at 1.71m.
He joined La Masia in 2013, after progressing through the youth teams he was finally promoted to FC Barcelona B and made his debut he made his senior debut on 24 February 2018, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–1 home draw against Gimnàstic de Tarragona.
The 18 year old was selected by Head Coach Ernesto Valverde for the USA pre season tour and made his debut against Tottenham while donning the No. 8 shirt previously worn by Club legend Andres Iniesta. He played exceptionally well but it was his performance against Milan that won hearts. Maybe after Rafinha he has been the best Barcelona player during the pre season.
Will he end up becoming a key player at the club?
Only time will tell
