# Barcelona: Fans discuss Riqui Puig

**Barcelona have a plethora of young quality rising through their academy system and B team at the moment.**

\[freshpress-poll id=”247884″\]

This season we have seen the likes of 17-year-old Ansu Fati steal the headlines with mature performances for Ernesto Valverde’s first-team, notably when he [scored](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ansu-fati/leistungsdaten/spieler/466810) against both Osasuna and Valencia in late-August and early-September.

Fati has now made a total of [eight appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ansu-fati/leistungsdaten/spieler/466810) for the Blaugrana this term, with his latest [start](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ansu-fati/leistungsdaten/spieler/466810) coming against Real Valladolid last week as the club cruised to a 5-1 victory at the Camp Nou.

Another young player to see plenty of game-time this season is winger Carles Perez, who has registered three assists and scored once in seven La Liga appearances (five starts) this term, per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ansu-fati/leistungsdaten/spieler/466810). Both Perez and Fati are now deemed to be valuable assets to the Catalan’s senior side – proven by the amount of minutes they have both seen this time out.

20-year-old central midfielder Riqui Puig is another young player making progress for Barcelona. Despite not featuring for the first-team yet, he has [scored two and assisted two goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/riqui-puig/profil/spieler/331511) playing for the club’s B team in the Spanish second-tier this season.

Barca fans are excited about what the future has in-store for Puig, expressing their feelings towards the Spaniard on Twitter, after a clip of him doing an obscene bit of skill recently surfaced on the social media platform.

> I really hope his career is managed properly. I’d absolutely love to see him get regular 1st team minutes. He’s a sensational prospect and right now I feel we need someone with his attacking flair.

> A franchise player. Potentially the long term successor to Messi, and someone we shouldn’t let escape through mismanagement
