MŠK Púchov is a Slovak football club, playing in the town of Púchov.

After winning the 2002–03 Slovak Cup, the only major trophy in the history of the club, Púchov managed to draw a first leg UEFA Cup game against an FC Barcelona side containing Víctor Valdés, Carles Puyol, Xavi Hernández, Luis Enrique, Ronaldinho Gaúcho, Marc Overmars and Patrick Kluivert. Milan Jambor scored the late equalizer. ^[1] Mário Breška, who had scored the winning goal in the extra-time of the 2003 Slovak Cup final against SK Slovan Bratislava, provided the assist that stunned the Catalan giants. ^[2] In the second leg in Camp Nou, Barcelona won 8-0.
