The vast bulk of his professional career was connected with Osasuna, where he was often charged with penalty-taking and for which he appeared in 513 competitive matches.[2][3][4]
Club career
Born in Huarte, Navarre,[5] Puñal played his entire professional career with CA Osasuna save for two on-loan seasons with Madrid's CD Leganés, in Segunda División.[6] His first official game for the first team came on 15 June 1997 in a 1–1 away draw against SD Eibar, in the same tier.[7]
After his loan spell, Puñal returned as an undisputed first choice, scoring his first La Liga goal on 27 October 2001 at already 26, in a 4–0 home win over RCD Mallorca.[8] In Osasuna's 2005–06 historical league campaign, which brought a best ever fourth-place finish, he netted four in 34 matches.
On 29 November 2006, as the side went on to reach the last-four in the UEFA Cup, Puñal scored three times (one in his net) in a 3–1 home defeat of Odense Boldklub in the group stage.[9] He made 47 official appearances that season.[10]
From 2007 to 2010, veteran Puñal continued to figure prominently for Osasuna, featuring in exactly 100 league games – scoring twice through penalties, in a 2–0 win at Getafe CF[11] and a 1–2 home loss to Real Madrid,[12] both goals coming during 2007–08 – and also being the captain after the retirement of César Cruchaga.[13] During that timeframe, he was booked a total of 37 times.
Puñal finished 2012 on a high note, being a father for the first time and having appeared in a total of 470 competitive matches for his main club, a best-ever. He obtained the record after his 464th overall appearance on 21 October, against Real Betis,[14] and on 26 May 2013 he again entered the team's history books, netting from 30 meters and contributing to a 2–1 home victory over Sevilla FC which certified permanence in the top division for another year, with one game remaining.[15]
