“I am very happy for him,” Xavi said of Riqui Puig goal against Osasuna.
“There is competition in the midfield, Frenkie and Nico both didn’t play today as well.
“We have a competitive midfield and I try to be fair with Riqui as he is training well,” Xavi added.
It takes a player keeping a level head and dogged work ethic to produce what we saw from Puig against Osasuna.
The 22-year-old had watched patiently as teenagers Pedri and Gavi overtook him in the midfield pecking order.
Perhaps this goal gives him the confidence boost to go on and stake a claim to regular playing time in the team.
