Carles Puyol Net Worth

He would play excellent football for Barcelona over the course of the next fifteen years, serving as the team’s captain and setting the record for the second-most number of all-time league appearances. However, injuries began to plague him beginning in 2009, and he surprised everyone when he chose to back out of his contract with Barcelona in March of 2014. He cited the number of surgeries he’d gone through in the last few years as his reason for retiring. He also played for the Spanish National team, and was part of the teams that won the 2008 Euro and 2010 World Cup Championships.
