Koeman gave them both half an hour as Barça won 3-0 in Budapest

Neither Carles Aleña nor Riqui Puig started at the Ferenc Puskas Arena on Wednesday but both came on in the second half for half an hour. 

After Frenkie de Jong and Junior Firpo came on at the break, Ronald Koeman brought on the two academy graduates with Barcelona 3-0 up. 

Aleña came on for Clement Lenglet, with De Jong dropping back to centre-back, while Puig replaced Antoine Griezmann further forward. 

Alongside Miralem Pjanic in midfield, Aleña helped with the ball circulation. Puig was involved in several encouraging attacks. 

Both players came into a comfortable game, with Ferencvaros pinned back and Barça enjoying the lion's share of possession. 

For that reason, they were able to take advantage of the minutes they were given, even though they didn't start as they would have liked given Barça have already qualified for the last 16.
