Blaugrana fans will recall the moment when former Arsenal man Alex Song thought club captain Carles Puyol wanted him to lift the LaLiga trophy back in 2013. However, as the video clearly goes on to show, Carles Puyol was actually asking Eric Abidal to step forward and lift the LaLiga trophy after the win against Real Valladolid. Eric Abidal had recently returned to full fitness following a battle against cancer that season. Carles Puyol gave the Frenchman the honour to lift the trophy after successfully winning the fight against cancer.
