Puyol: It’s great to be back

Carles Puyol returned to the Barcelona starting XI last night after seven months out, and the defender admitted it was great to be back.

The Bluagrana could only draw 0-0 with Osasuna on Saturday evening – ending their 100 per cent start to the campaign.

But the captain conceded that it was good to be playing again after over 200 days on the sidelines.

“These last couple of months have been complicated, but I’ve been training with the team for days, I’m pleased with how I felt on the pitch, but not with the final result,” he told the club’s official website.

“We knew that this is a difficult stadium to play in, we weren’t accurate in front of goal and our final touch wasn’t precise.

“Now we have to rest, recover and focus on Milan.”
