“Riqui Puig is a show. To see guys that still have a childlike face as they treat the ball is something that amazes me. It's something like poetry, I've been talking about him for some time and can not be cut and pasted to another club.” – Gatussopic.twitter.com/otN9CnDKDg

Bahkan, legenda AC Milan yang mencetak dua gol ke gawang Barcelona pada final Piala Champions 1994, Daniele Massaro, meminta jersey Puig selepas pertandingan tersebut.
The Riqui Puig love in continues in San Jose. Daniele Massaro (who scored twice vs. Barça in 1994 European Cup final) requested his shirt after the game and has compared him to Iniesta.

Tampaknya pesona yang ditampilkan pemain binaan akademi Barcelona itu memikat hati Massaro yang menyaksikan langsung laga itu dari Levis's Stadium, Amerika Serikat.
Namun Messi dan Puig juga memiliki perbedaan yang mendasar di atas lapangan. Messi bermain sebagai winger, sementara Puig beroperasi di lini tengah.
