Pujol made his debut for Andorra in a friendly game against Albania on 6 February 2000, becoming at 17 years and 5 months his country’s youngest player, beating Ildefons Lima’s record.[4] His record was eventually beaten by Iván Lorenzo in 2003 and then Sergi Moreno in 2004. Pujol played in a match against England at Old Trafford held on 2 September 2006 but had to withdraw shortly after the start of the second half due to a leg injury after a tangle with Ashley Cole.[5]

On 12 October 2021, Pujol scored his fourth goal for Andorra during a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification game against San Marino, becoming at 39 years and 1 months their oldest-ever goalscorer as well as UEFA's oldest FIFA World Cup qualification goalscorer, though the latter record was beaten on 7 June 2025 by Bosnian Edin Džeko.[6] Three years later, on 13 October 2024, he scored his fifth goal for Andorra in a friendly, again against San Marino, and in doing so at the age of 42 years and 53 days, he became the oldest European international goalscorer, breaking a 68-year-old record set by Stanley Matthews in 1956, at 41 years and 248 days.[7]
