5 - Carles Puyol

Unfortunately impossible with the 1-25 squad number rule in Spain.

Not that this has anything to do with Puyol or his #5, just trying to figure it out...

I'm trying to calculate this but it makes my brain hurt.

Is this a new rule?

I guess B team players that are added to the squad are allowed to wear numbers higher than 25, but for example, Tello wore 37 for a season or two after he was officially promoted to the first team. Surely cases like that leave a 1-25 squad number open without being used. I guess you could retire numbers like that, as long as you have enough players that were promoted from the B-system. For example, we didn't have anyone wearing 24 at some point, did we?

Tello was promoted midseason, if I recall correctly. So he kept the #37 for the rest of the season. When the following season started, he had to wear a number in the 1-25 range.

Milan have sounded out Puyol, but there are no talks ongoing. Qatari club Al Sadd is trying to convince the centre back to join them. [sky]

Puyol playing with Raul :D Going to be great if it works out but I would want him to end his career and not to move anywhere.

I hope Tata plays him in Champions Leauge matches. I simply feel more secure with him on the field.
Sure he is old, but the funny thing is, we still conceid less goals with him on the field.
