Riqui Puig is really happy with his new role at Barcelona, training with the first team and playing for Barça B. 

"I am really happy. The coach [Valverde] is giving me confidence," he said. "Training with the first team is something which makes me a better player. 

"My team is Barça B, though, and I will try to do the best possible this season. We have a great team and everyone adds something to the table."

Puig won the penalty which Aleña scored in the B team's 1-1 draw this season and has been impressing since doing pre-season with the first team in the United States.
