Remember the most embarrassing moment in football history for the 43rd birthday of Puyoli

You don't see characters like Carles Puyol anymore in the world of football. The former defender of Barcelona and Spain was the definition of the warrior in the field.

The former defender of Barcelona and Spain was the definition of the warrior in the field.
He was extremely combative, as far as he was from being a fair player for his associates and opponents, Periscope broadcasts.
Like all great captains, Puyol was looking for 100% of all the players at Barcelona.
As he celebrates today's 43rd birthday, we thought we could get you back in time to one of the most embarrassing moments in football history, if not the most embarrassing.
In 2013, Puyol made a brilliant gesture after Barcelona secured the title in La League, following a victory against Real Waldadilide in Camp Nouú.
Puyol refused the opportunity to freeze the trophy in front of fans, and insisted that Eric Abidal give it to him.
Abidal, who had recently done a liver transplant that saved him from the tumor, had the opportunity to lift the trophy alongside coach Tito Vilanova, thanks to Puyol's generosity.
However, while Puyol reached out to Abidal, Alex Song (for reasons we do not yet know) thought that he was being given the opportunity to lift the trophy.
Oh, Alex.
Song had a difficult debut season with the Catalonas giant after moving from Arsenal in 2012, so it's strange why he thought Puyoli was inviting him to raise the trophy.
Even today it's hard to watch the video without suffering a slight pain or a heart attack from embarrassment but if you're brave, you have the following... /Periscope. com/
