5 U-20 players who could win the Ballon d'Or in the future

#4 - Riqui Puig (FC Barcelona)

Puig is touted as "the pearl of La Masia"

There aren't many footballers more talented than Riqui Puig. A creative midfielder with lightning pace, great dribbling, and unmatched vision, Puig has been touted as "the pearl of La Masia". As such, the Spanish international is expected to be destined for greatness at FC Barcelona.

As an 18 year old, Puig played a critical role in the Blaugrana's UEFA Youth League win in 2018, scoring three and assisting three goals in the competition. He made his first-team debut in the 2018/19 season in the Copa Del Rey against Cultural Leonesa, assisting a goal in Barcelona's 4-1 win.

While he may not immediately play regularly for the first team, expect big things from Puig, as he is sure to become an integral member of Barcelona's midfield in the future. Hence, a Ballon d'Or of his own could also be a possibility.
