Barcelona's captain Carles Puyol gives a press conference on May 9, 2012 at the Sports Center FC Barcelona Joan Gamper in Barcelona. Puyol said impending knee surgery should rule him out of the Euro 2012 squad but he is not ready to end his international career. The 34-year-old, long-haired Barcelona defender, whose header famously took Spain into the final of their victorious 2010 World Cup campaign, said he expects to face the surgeon's knife on May 12, 2012 .AFP PHOTO/ JOSEP LAGO
