Barcelona captain Carles Puyol has admitted that he is looking forward to their last 16 Champions League tie with Milan.

The Catalan club face Massimiliano Allegri's men on Wednesday February 20 at San Siro before the return leg three weeks later in Spain.

And the 34-year-old centre-back has conceded that he is happy with the prospect of facing the Rossoneri.

“I am very happy,” he told reporters. “I said the other week that I wanted Milan, not because they are easy, but because I've always liked them.

“It is going to be a very nice tie.

“Our familiarity with Milan is neither good nor bad. We know each other but also some of the other rivals.

“The knockout games are always very complicated. Anyway, it's a long way away.”


No secret how much puyi loves Milan as its the only club he would join if he left Barca.
Here's hoping for Galliani to snatch Puyi before the tie.

He knows how mediocre Bojan is.

Puyol and Maldini are good friends apparently

“I have been to training with the best defender in the history, my idol Paolo Maldini: the phenomenon,” Puyol tweeted to the fans, in Spanish, through his official Twitter account – @Carles5puyol.

Its that summer where Xavi, Iniesta, Puyi, Pep, Pique all met Maldini.

Guardiola tried to persuade Paolo for a directorial role in Barcelona but Maldini refused. He also dedicated the CL final victory to Maldini.

"I dedicate this to Italian football and Paolo Maldini, who need not worry because he has the admiration of all of Europe," the victorious boss told RAI Sport.

"I'm experiencing a great joy, it's been a pleasure to win it in Roma, a hug to all Italians," he said in conclusion.

They look a like a couple with bad haircuts.

Solid, but any kind of speedy forward would rip it to pieces imo. Looks even worse from the middle imo.

Puyol: "I always said that if I left Barça then I would have liked to join Milan, but it's too late now. I'll end my career here."

Puyol: "I always support Milan when thye're not playing against Barça. I have a lot of admiration for Milan."

Puyi

Always had massive respect for Puyito, such a classy man

Why not Inter or Juventus instead of AC?

Puyol is a legend. Not just because he'll be regarded as a technically gifted CB but also his loyalty, determination and fair play. Never seen anyone, even opposition, say anything bad about him.

Lol about fair play , i shall always hate this guy for diving like a barcelona player he is in the CL semis when Sheva scored ....

You call this a dive?


Discuss.

How is that a dive

Just because its not a foul doesnt mean he dived.

He just slipped, thats it.

He only dives when he clears the ball lol

Not a dive by any means, just a bad call from the ref...

it's dive becouse he started rolling and milked it? and it caused a disallowed goal?

no matter what you say that was 100% cheating and wrong, pls dont argue your just gonna lose

So, you say retarded stuff and then say dont argue

Dive =/= milking injury

You realise the whistle blew before he even showed any sign of being hurt?

Don't argue god damn it.

While we're at it, 2 wrong goals went in today cause of ref errors.

The porto goal was offside, and the Arsenal goal from the corner was never a corner at all.

You can bet we will get deceived again too
