One of Barcelona's most coveted defenders, a blend of leadership and passion made him one of the best defenders in Spain's history.

LEADER FROM THE BACK:According to Barcelona's head doctor, he was "the strongest, the quickest & the player with most explosive strength".

Puyol captained Barcelona during their glory years, contributing to their successes with his incredible strength and amazing leadership presence. His character and commitment drove them to multiple La Liga and Champions League titles. Puyol played at centre-back alongside some of the great Barcelona defenders such as Pique or Dani Alves .

The one-club man Carlos Puyol was a hardline defender, but is he the best Spanish defender all-time?
