🎥 Riqui Puig made a lot of new fans after dazzling on his debut | OneFootball

After being surrounded by hype for so long, 19-year-old Riqui Puig finally made his Barcelona first-team debut against Cultural Leonesa on Wednesday night and it was one to remember.

Puig came on for Oriol Busquets in the 55th minute and produced a display that will live long in the memory.

Despite only being on for just 35 minutes, Puig was fouled more times than anyone else on the pitch.

Puig’s moment of the match came in the 70th minute when he supplied a lovely chipped pass to Denis Suárez to create the team’s fourth goal – fueling instant comparisons to Andrés Iniesta.

“It’s a debut I dreamed about,” Puig said after Barcelona advanced to the Copa del Rey round-of-16.

”A win and an assist on top of how well the team played. I used to come to the Camp Nou when I was three years old, imagining what it would be like to play here.

”Ernesto [Valverde] has given me the opportunity and the reality is a dream come true.

Given that he’s managed to make Lionel Messi feel ‘astonished’ watching him in training, it’s safe to say that this young lad’s future is looking awfully bright.
