The director of the station, Manuel Tarín Iglesias, proposed that Puyal broadcast a football match between FC Barcelona and Córdoba Club de Fútbol.
Cadena SER approved the project to broadcast football in Catalan on FM radio and the new program "Futbol en català" was from the beginning supported by La Caixa, which paid for all its expenses.

In 1985, he signed with Televisió de Catalunya to direct and present, on TV3, the program "Vostè Jutja" ("You Judge") which aired for two years.
[9] During this same time he directed three programs for TV3 for which he was not the presenter, "Tres pics i repicó", "El joc del segle"[10] and "L'indret de la memòria".
He has been a mentor to notable Catalan journalists to whom he gave their first professional opportunity, including Antoni Bassas, Eduard Boet, Pilar Calvo, Xavier Bosch, Marcel Gorgori, Manel Fuentes, Ricard Torquemada and Mònica Terribas.
In 2004 Puyal and his Futbol a Catalunya Ràdio team were awarded the Generalitat's Premi Nacional de Radiodifusió, Televisió, Internet i Telecomunicacions in the radio broadcasting category.
