LA Galaxy midfielder Riqui Puig happy with decision to leave Barcelona

LA Galaxy midfielder Riqui Puig says he's happy with his move to MLS.

Puig surprisingly moved to LA Galaxy after leaving Barcelona last summer.

He said: "Now that I've been in a home since January, I'm very comfortable. At the moment I don't miss Barcelona, which is saying a lot.... And every month my parents, my girlfriend and my brothers and sisters come to visit me. The truth is that right now I'm very happy."

Asked about Barça's future from the outside, the 23-year-old was very optimistic about Xavi's project. He said he doesn't miss a single game.

"I think Barcelona are playing very well this year," he added. "The numbers say so. They've conceded seven goals in 22 league games. It's brutal. That's what Barcelona was missing, to improve in that aspect, because offensively they always score goals and create a lot of chances. I think Barcelona can do great things this year."
