Puyol: I rarely talk about football with my family. My two daughters only recently learned that I played for Barcelona

In an interview, former Barcelona captain Puyol revealed that he rarely talks about football with his family.

Which is your most memorable goal? Which goal will be most memorable to your family?

I rarely talk about football with my family. In fact, my two daughters did not know that I played for Barcelona until recently because the eldest was born when I was preparing to retire and the younger was born after I had already retired.

So what is your most unforgettable goal?

There aren't many choices. One was a goal against Germany in the 2010 World Cup semi-finals. In addition, I scored a very similar goal at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. My goal gave Barcelona a 2-1 lead and almost won the La Liga championship in advance (Barcelona eventually defeated Real Madrid 6-2 away from home).

The two goals are very similar. Is the Barcelona goal a tactic you discussed in advance?

This was a tactic formulated two minutes before the opening. Coach Vilanova stopped me, Xavi, and Pique, and told us to use this tactic if we get a free kick from the wing. As a result we managed to score.
