Barca’s Riqui Puig was allowed to play against FC Bayern for almost 20 minutes. What the Spaniard did after losing the Champions League caused a stir.
Midfielder Riqui Puig from FC Barcelona has after the 0: 3 at Bayern Munich and the associated Champions League-off caused a stir with an action after the game.
TV pictures show the 22-year-old on the way out of the Allianz Arena. Puig watched the series “House of Money” on his tablet. That suggested on the TV show El Chiringuito high waves.
Above all, Puig was criticized for having focused on the wrong things after a drastic defeat. “That shows that Barca DNA is a lie,” said the group. Fans also discussed on Twitter whether Puig’s behavior was okay – with varying echoes.
Puig is currently in a difficult position at FC Barcelona
After the defeat in Munich and the simultaneous success of Benfica over Dynamo Kiev, the Catalans missed the qualification for the round of 16 and have to play in the Europa League in the new year. Puig only came into play against the record champions in the 73rd minute when Frenkie de Jong was 3-0.
The four-time Spanish U21 international is currently in a difficult position in Barcelona anyway. This season, Puig, whose contract with Barca runs until 2023, has only made nine appearances across all competitions. The right-footed player was never in the starting line-up. The substitution against Bayern was his first – and at the same time last – premier class minutes of the season.
