Barcelona Defender Cubarsi Explains Why Puyol is His Role Model in LaLiga

Just like Puyol, Cubarsi has emerged from the La Masia system to make a name for himself in both Barcelona and Spain's senior teams.

He said,  "My goal would be to have Puyol's character and leadership.

"Both on and off the field. He is a leader, who tries to help his teammate. If things don't go well, he encourages his teammate, if they go well, he leads the team forward.

"For me he is a role model."
