LA Galaxy midfielder Riqui Puig admits Barcelona coach Xavi pushed him out of the club. Puig left Barca last year for the MLS club. He recalled to Sport: “Before the end of the season, we sat down and he told me that he didn’t count on me. “With the president it was different, he saw a future in me and wanted me to stay, but I wasn’t going to stay at a club where the coach didn’t want me.
