Carles Puyol
Carles Puyol Saforcada (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈkaɾles puˈjɔl i safoɾˈkaða]; born 13 April 1978) is a Spanish retired professional footballer. Mainly a central defender, he could also play on either flank, mostly as a right-back, and was regarded as one of the best defenders of his generation. A one-club man, he served as the long-time team captain for his only club Barcelona after taking over from Luis Enrique in August 2004, and went on to appear in 593 competitive matches for the club and win 18 major titles, notably six La Liga trophies and three Champions League titles. A Spain international on 100 occasions, Puyol was part of the squad that won the Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup tournaments. In the latter competition's semi-final, he scored the only goal of the game against Germany.

FIFA 22 Carles Puyol: How to Complete the Mid Icon SBC

FIFA 22 Carles Puyol Mid Icon SBC went live Dec. 28 alongside SBCs for Mid George Best and Prime Gianfranco Zola. Puyol is one of the best defenders of all time. He was a stalwart at the back for Barcelona and he's been a mainstay in the FIFA Ultimate Team Icon lineup. He's not necessarily the most popular defender in the game, but he provides value in some valuable links for hybrid teams. He's got fantastic defending and physicality statistics, but he's not the most agile and lacks top tier pace.
