In his latest interview with Fox, Puig said: "It was a total disappointment, and again more so after these seven years.

"I stayed in Barcelona while all my teammates were playing in Los Angeles. It hurt me a lot. The pressure on the players? You can definitely act another way. But I have to thank Barcelona because they are the one that I am, even if I have never had a coach who fully trusted me.

"As a player you can lose confidence but you can never lose continuity."
