Riqui Puig ‘hurt’ by Xavi’s treatment at Barcelona

Riqui Puig has been talking about his exit from Barcelona and says he was hurt by the way he was treated by Xavi.

The Barcelona coach made it clear that Puig was not in his plans for the future which led the midfielder to move on to LA Galaxy.

Puig says that after Xavi told him he wasn’t in his plans for the new season he also wouldn’t let him train ahead of the new campaign which upset the midfielder.

“Before the end of the season we sat down and he told me that next year he didn’t count on me,” he said.
