I fucking loved watching Puyol in those great Barca teams. That man would die for the club. Body on the line for a clean sheet. Always classy, just playing the game the right way. Legend.

[joonatan]

both him and Vidic are the greatest defender warriors. Absolutely solid, strong markings, hard tackles, leadership qualities, briliant duels abilities(both ground and aerial), put everything for their respective teams, but also intelligent of organizing the defence and even the teammates. We all miss players like them, players who really love their club over anything, are always loved by their fans, and are always respected by the rivals. Legends.

When the chapecoense plane crashed it was an El Classico week, and Puyol always have a spot to watch it, but he came here, to Brasil, to carry the coffins, because that was bigger than any El classico ever.

Football needs more Puyol's. There is no player that I respect more than him.

[forwardthinkingforum]

Puyol is one of the only Barcelona players that as a real madrid fan I always respected

[maratonlegendelenemirei]

The man terminated his own contract because he didn't want to rob the club of money! What a special unique Legend this fella is!

[amosstanislas]

Madrid fan here... But I'll show respect where respect is due.
I ADMIRE PUYOL!!

[harrr]

The day he saved that shot at goal with his chest, with the goalkeeper beaten, hitting him on the club's shield...that was one of the best football moments I have witnessed. You couldn't script a more epic moment.

The story about Carles intentionally failing his classes because his friend was already failing... Sabotaging his school year to be held back on purpose, just so his friend wouldn't have to go through it alone...Now that is LOYALTY. And it says so much about his character.

I am an avid Liverpool FC-fan since end 80's, but I must say that when thinking about a captain thats stood out to me in an utmost positive way, Puyol is actually the first captain that comes to my mind, even ahead of Steven Gerrard. Puyol's presence on the field (and off the pitch) and the way he spread his winning mentality to the rest of the players, especially those right next to him, was simply top notch. One other fact about him that made me applaud him even more, was how he didn't tolerate nonsense behaviour from his teammates. There are many examples on how he either pulls up a fake-injured teammate, "kicks his ass" and gets him to play on or when his teammates are arguing with the ref and being stupid, he just shoves them away and tells them to focus on the game. I loved seeing him do that. What a brilliant cap'n he was. A true legend, without a doubt.

Puyol IS so awesome, outclasses everyone in Fairness. Goat captain

[joshuajohn]

I'm so glad you made a video on this man, he really was the epitome of real manhood and leadership. Everything a captain should aspire to be.

[tygo]

Van gaal mocking Puyol's appearance is some crazy hypocrisy

[iScrewFace]

I'm a real madrid fan, but man I respect Puyol a lot. What a warrior!

[depekthegreat]

Spanish legend Carles Puyol sir was like a brickwall of the Barcelona team that ruled the Spanish football since the mid 2000's till the early 2010's and he was a great captain at that time!!!I ever adore his leadership of course, the Barcelona team of not just Lionel Messi boss, good friends!!!LONG LIVE CARLES PUYOL SIR!!!🏋️‍♂️

[suchitramaity]

Puyol is an another name of hard work, determination ( the man always wanted to give his team the best without thinking about his conditions) and focus and the hunger to achieve the best. I will never forget his efforts for barca and spain.
'The true definition of a captain, last of your kind, Carlos Puyol, you will be in our hearts ' .

The Eric Abidal thing is probably the most beautiful gesture I've ever seen in the football world. Has the chance to overtake Maldini in the record books but he rather put the focus on someone else's battle. Honestly amazing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This channel always has top content, but this video was one of the best. Very emotional. Puyol is like a comic book hero from another era. My dad told me the same lesson and I pass it to my kids also: there will always be more talented and luckier people around you, but never let anyone beat you on effort and character.

[Mrocznyy]

Finally my favorite footballer! I got goosebumps. I once wrote in my homework that I loved him. And that's the truth. Legend, Lionheart, Carles Puyol. The perfect captain. A real man. My hero.

[lonlonmlk]

Puyol is one of the best in the world. Endless respect for him as a Madridista. Pure class.
