This is bad news

Puyol on the bench. We always win when he starts. Mascherano is good, but he’s no Puyol. Oh well, we must find a way to win anyway.

Puyol out

Bad news. Still Im quietly confident.

Enjoy the game guys. Visca El Barca!!!!!!

You're referring to Puyol in the 2-6, right?

Awesome goal!

Well, that one wasn't just phenomenal

It was an all-time great goal. When Messi retires (as the best ever), his career highlights will always include THAT goal.

Patrick Kluivert in the crowd...

We miss ya, big guy…

I read that he and Xavi will go into surgery after the final

The years playing with no holidays finally took their toll, it seems. These guys haven’t stopped since 2008.
