Carles Puyol keeping in shape post-retirement thanks to model girlfriend

This is the time of year when the defender would be put through his paces during the rigour of pre-season training, so this summer will be somewhat novel for the Barcelona legend.

Lorenzo posted a picture on her Instagram account to prove that his fitness remains impressive as he holds up his girlfriend with his hands.

Puyol shared the image, with the hashtags ‘strength, ‘balance’ and ‘danger of breaking your head’.
