Carles Puyol visits Lima for a commercial
The World champion is in our capital shooting a commercial
Carles Puyol, Barcelona idol and world champion with Spain, turned Lima upside down with a lightning visit that moved all soccer fans and which the former defender himself published on his social media, where he can be seen walking the streets of San Juan de Lurigancho.
The presence of the remembered Blaugrana captain in Lima is due to commercial commitments with an important bank, but it served as a pretext for many fans and experts in the soccer world to remember the importance of the tough defender in the history of world soccer.
"Enjoying Peru with Scotiabank Futbol Club," he posted on his official Facebook account, quickly receiving positive reactions from fans worldwide, with dozens of comments.
"Puyol is in my neighborhood shooting a commercial?" "Nationalize Puyol!" "Puyol is in Lima and I didn't know anything!" "The world champion in South Africa 2010, Carles Puyol, is in Caja de Agua - San Juan de Lurigancho," were some of the reactions and comments from the fans in the capital.
Puyol was part of that unforgettable Barcelona starting eleven, in which Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Ronaldinho, Valdés, Piqué, Mascherano... all shone, managed by the great Pep Guardiola, who won countless cups like the Champions League and the Club World Cup.
However, the defender's legacy was crowned with the conquest of the European Championship and the World Cup in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa with the great Spanish national team led by Vicente del Bosque.
