Puyol is caught in his towel as the Queen of Spain congratulates players

Puyol probably wished he had some extra time added in the changing room last Wednesday.

Queen Sofia of Spain took the opportunity to congratulate the players after Spain made it to the final of the World Cup. All the players were still wearing the gear they played with as they were preparing to take showers when the Queen walked in.

But Puyol was nowhere to be seen when he then suddenly appeared in his bath towel to be congratulated by the Queen. ‘Fantastic, Congratulations’, said the Queen saying that ‘in the name of the King and all the members of the Royal Family and of all Spain it was marvellous’.

Hehehe ... only God knows how much he was praying that that towel wouldn't let him down, literally, in the presence of the Queen. Look at the way he was fiddling with it. No wonder he threw all protocl to the wind, gave her his back and hurried away into obscurity.
