2) He was Gerard Pique’s guardian angel
Pique and Puyol formed one of the most formidable centre-back partnerships during Guardiola’s era. During that time, they also became very close friends off the pitch as well. When Puyol decided to retire Pique was very sad to see him hang up his boots.
The defender wrote an emotional letter describing his affection for his centre-back partner calling him his ‘Guardian Angel’. The Pique-Puyol friendship will always be a confusing one considering how different the two characters are.
