No excuses for failure, says Puyol

BARCELONA captain Carlos Puyol insists his team have no excuse not to triumph in the first leg of their Champions League clash against Bayern Munich tonight.

The Spanish giants are full of confidence as they are sitting pretty at the top of the Primera Division, through to the last eight of the Champions League and in the final of the Copa del Rey.

Their search for an unprecedented treble has led to a build-up of fixtures but Puyol has rubbished talk that there could be tired legs in the squad.
