After retiring from professional football, Puyol, world champion with Spain and three-time UEFA Champions League winner with FC Barcelona, has been the image of several international brands, one of them being Scotiabank, a Canadian bank that operates in Peru.
With this financial institution, he is an image of the Scotiabank Football Club program, which was launched at the beginning of the pandemic after football was forced to 'stop' in order to comply with the quarantine and prevent further infections.
