It is so good to watch Riqui Puig, amazing. The confidence he has on the ball is terrific, his passing is brilliant, his ball control is good, everything is good.

In a certainly glum performance from both attack and defense, the midfield trio shined bright with a gem among them. Riqui completed 63/67 attempted passes, a lot of which were in the forward direction.

He wasn't the only good thing for Barcelona. Moussa Wague was also spectacular at right-back. He made three tackles and also won an aerial.

This was at the defensive end while at the offense, he completed three dribbles, made 43/50 passes, creating three shot opportunities as well. The options Barcelona has in its reserve team is really good.

Even Collado was good to watch, even though not as spectacular as the other two, which is understood as both Wague and Riqui were playing in their natural positions.

It has to be said that Puig is more than ready to be promoted next season.
