Riqui Puig prepares to make his Champions League debut Barcelona Has been called up for the Inter trip

With Barcelona already having secured first place in their Champions League group, Ernesto Valverde has shaken up his squad list and has called up several youth teamers for this week's match away at Inter at the same time as leaving out Gerard Pique, Sergi Roberto and Lionel Messi.

In addition to Ansu Fati and Carles Perez, who have made a few appearances each already this season, Valverde has called up other young talents such as Inaki Pena, Ronald Araujo, Dani Morer and Riqui Puig.

For Riqui Puig, this is an important opportunity to impress as he has only played for the first team in the friendly against Cartagena this season.

Last year, he made appearances in LaLiga Santander against Huesca and Celta Vigo, while he faced Cultural Leonesa in the Copa del Rey.

The 20-year-old may not have played an official game yet for the first team this term, but he has made headlines due to his reported disgruntlement at a lack of opportunities and due to his reported upset at the prospect of going out on loan.

In terms of the other youngsters who have made the trip, Araujo is loved by the Barcelona coaching staff, even though he ended up getting sent off on his first-team debut.

Dani Morer, meanwhile, is a promising full-back and previously made the bench for the match away at Leganes.

This time, there is a chance he could get on the pitch as he'll be the only backup full-back on the bench for the match in Italy.

Inaki Pena, meanwhile, is the third-choice goalkeeper and could make the bench.
