Carles Puyol: Curls, charisma and championships

This midweek podcast from La Liga Lowdown is all about Barcelona and Spain legend Carles Puyol. We tell his story, from his childhood to his playing days to his life after retirement. Román de Arquer (@Aeroslavee) kicks the podcast off by detailing how Puyol went from playing as a goalkeeper as a kid to making his Barcelona first-team debut at right-back. Richard Fitzpatrick (@Richard_Fitz) then picks up the story and explains how Puyol became a world-class centre-back, the club captain and a key member of Pep Guardiola's Barcelona. We also hear from Kevin Williams (@kevvwill) about the partnership Puyol developed with Gerard Piqué, from Paco Polit (@pacopolitENG) about his international career with Spain and from Matt Clark (@MattClark_08) about the work Puyol has done since retiring as a player. Hosted by Euan McTear (@emctear), this podcast also features commentary clips of legendary Puyol moments and a clip of Piqué discussing the greatness of his former colleague. Hosted on Acast.
