 A Profile of Carles Puyol
As a defender Carles Puyol remains somewhat in the shadow of players such as Ronaldinho, Samuel Eto’o or Lionel Messi, but with his energy, stamina and focus, he remains a favourite in the Nou Camp and is an essential member of the current line-up.
Considered to be one of the best defenders in the world, Carles Puyol is also the first Catalan captain to have held the Champions League Cup aloft after the team defeated Arsenal in May 2006, the competition in which he was awarded Defender of the Year.
Although he plays in the Spanish selection, which he has also captained on occasion, Carles Puyol is a Barcelona diehard through and through and it is difficult to imagine him playing for any other club when his contract expires in 2010, whatever offer was on the table.

 Carles Puyol, Spain football World Cup 2006 Squad Profile
Rugged and aggressive defender, who has led from the back by example in the Barcelona side that has dominated the Spanish league during the past two seasons.
A converted right-back, it is since his move to the centre of defence that Puyol has really shone after appearing for Spain in both Euro 2000 and the 2002 World Cup.
His whole-hearted approach has made him a favourite at both club and international level and it is perhaps no coincidence that Barca's resurgence has coincided with Puyol being handed the captain's armband.

Description: Carles Puyol nació el 13 de abril de 1978 en la Pobla de Segur (Lleida).
A pesar de haberse iniciado en el fútbol a una edad tardía (10 años), Louis Van Gaal lo hizo debutar, con escasos 21 años, en el primer equipo de FC Barcelona el 2 de octubre de 1999.
Desde entonces, Puyol se ha ido afianzando año tras año como el principal puntal de la defensa azulgrana, empezando en la banda derecha de la zaga para luego pasar paulatinamente a ocupar la posición de central, confirmándose así el liderazgo defensivo que ostenta en la actualidad dentro del equipo (es el primer capitán del Barça).
