FC Barcelona’s legendary defender, Carles Puyol, has spoken out of Captain Lionel Messi’s attempted departure, while opting for his favorite match in the Blaugrana.
Speaking in Milan with former Real Madrid and Spain icon Iker Casillas, Puyol admitted that he “didn’t need Messi to leave, but that’s football. “
“At the end of the day, he will stay, [and] recently said he was motivated – he was looking to [win] – and I hope he can stay with us for many more years. It’s a big plus for La Liga, it’s one of the most productive in the world,” Puyol said.
“Maybe Iker would have liked a Messi from Barcelona,” Puyol joked, insisting that all football fans are “somehow linked” to the Argentine, because his taste for the game is “fascinating. “
Speaking about how he got lost by leaving Camp Nou and signing for AC Milan, Puyol explained that “you have to compare a lot of things” when switching clubs.
“I was proud to bet in Barcelona, that’s all I have in [me]. The cases were favorable, the club trusted me,” Puyol tore off on this issue.
“In 2014 I had knee problems and stopped. But in the first team 15 years ago. I’ve won gifts from other teams, Italians and English. I have never hidden that I would have liked to play in Milan, [and ] play with Paolo Maldini, who to me is an idol. Milan then at a good time, but I am very pleased to have stayed in Barcelona.
By winning the Ballon d’Or, Puyol admitted that it “never occurred to him” when he had reached the most sensitive point of lace both at club level and abroad.
“When you live with Messi, cristiano Ronaldo, Xavi Hernandez, Casillas, it’s hard to tell who’s the best. Goals make all the difference and Messi and Cristiano were the [main] rivals. Xavi and [Andrés] Iniesta were huge” players, but they went unnoticed despite the hard work,” Puyol said.
Finally, in his favorite match with Barca, Puyol chose the epic 2-6 win at the Bernabéu in 2009.
“It is our first year with Pep Guardiola. We started the League very well, but then Madrid began to come back. We had 3 games left, we were 4 points down and win this decisive game,” said Puyol.
“But I too the year before, when we had to do the guard of honor in Madrid. I tried to get this game over soon, we lost 4-1 and they were able to score more,” the 42-year-old finished. .
