JUST SO YOU know: Carles Puyol doesn’t do blankets.

The Barcelona skipper was the only Barcelona squad member on the bench last night who shunned the warmth of the team flannel despite the cold of the Russian night.

Barcelona beat Spartak Moscow 3-0 to book their place in the knock-out stages.

There’s a clean sheet joke in here somewhere but it’s above our pay grade.

Other things, Puyol doesn’t do: charity bracelets, snoods, emoticons.
