He recently spoke about his decision to leave Barcelona, citing personal reasons.
Pena explained that he played 25 or 26 games for Barcelona, but was then left out for a few months, which left a sour taste.
He also mentioned that Barcelona asked him to wait for other goalkeepers to be signed, but he needed to play regularly to gain consistency, which he felt he had lacked in recent years.
Pena wanted to make the leap to a more consistent level, so he decided to join Elche on loan to achieve this goal.
