Impressive pre-season performances have raised the excitement levels surrounding Riqui Puig and the 19-year-old could make his official Barcelona debut in front of the Camp Nou crowd in Wednesday night's Copa del Rey second leg against Cultural Leonesa.
Likened to Andres Iniesta because of the way he looks after the ball, he presented himself to the world during the Blaugrana's summer tour.
After a thrilling outing against AC Milan, Gennaro Gattuso labelled the young Spaniard spectacular.
This season he has been playing for Barcelona B and has racked up 957 minutes across 14 Segunda B matches.
He could take on third-tier opposition once again, but this time for Ernesto Valverde's senior side, who boast a 1-0 advantage as they head into this second leg.
The match kicks off at 21:30 CET.
