Puyol to present trophy
Former Spain and Barcelona defender Carles Puyol will present the trophy to tonight's winners and has described the act as "an honour."
"I never imagined I'd have the kind of career I've had, living a dream cherished by millions of children and doing what I enjoy most," says the 36-year-old. "Likewise, I never thought that the last act of my sporting career would be presenting the trophy at the World Cup final."
Puyol retired at Barcelona at the end of the season after 18 years and has been appointed assistant to director of football Andoni Zubizarreta.
