5 - Carles Puyol

[instinct]

Not that I mind or anything, but how come Puyol is the one to hand the trophy back?

I read that the representative of the previous WC winner will hand the trophy back and Puyol was the representative of Spain in 2010. Don't know if true though.

Might be true.I think Cannavaro was it in 2010.

So the original trophy is given back to Fifa to present it to the winner? So basically, National Teams are only getting the replica?

Yes. Countries who win the cup three times after the Jules Rimet trophy was retired, I think, get a FIFA World Cup Winner's Replica made for them.

He'll hand it over together with Gisele Bündchen.

Lucky her. Watching the game with Puyi.

 

[Stric]

He shaved.

I wonder what Puyi thinks of Brazil's defence

He's probably the one who said to Zubi that Luiz is not the new Tarzan

The best captain the club has ever had. An absolute legend.

El más grande. Único, irrepetible, inigualable. Nació con el don de ser el mejor. Gracias por tanto. #TodosConMessi

I already miss him

At least he'll be a board member
