Here's Why PAU CUBARSI is SO GOOD 😱
It looks like La Masia has unleashed another monster. The 17-year-old Pau Cubarsi, who nobody knew about three months ago, has become a living nightmare for opposition forwards.
In this video, Fanatico will tell you about the phenomenon of this young center-back. So subscribe to us and let's get started!
How is it even possible?
Time is a strange thing. Looking at Pau Cubarsi's position in Barcelona now, can you believe that he made his senior debut for the team only in 2024? Well, it's true!
Moreover, Pau's rise was faster than anyone could have imagined. In this regard, the Spaniard surpasses even Lamine Yamal, who became a key player gradually during the season.
Two months ago, he made his first appearance in a Barcelona shirt in a cup match against Unionistas, and immediately secured a place in the team's starting lineup. Since then, Barça has played 12 matches, and Cubarsi has taken part in 11 of them.
Moreover, if Pau starts the game, Barcelona never lose. The center-back has 10 starts, in which the team won 8 games and drew twice.
In fact, the brain refuses to accept this information. The player, who has just turned 17, breaks into the starting lineup of one of the biggest clubs in Europe and starts playing match after match as if he had been the leader of this team all his life.
I am very happy. It has been the best week of my life. It means a lot to be able to debut with the Barça first team, because I have always been a culé and for me it is a dream, - Cubarsi said after making his debut in the starting lineup in the La Liga win over Betis.
Pau hasn't just become a talented academy graduate who has earned his chance in the first team. He has literally STRENGTHENED Barcelona. Since Cubarsi's debut, Barcelona closed the 5-point gap with Girona and is now 2 points ahead of the season's main sensation, moving into second place.
Cubarsi's influence on Barca is hard to overestimate. In particular, we should highlight the fact that in the last 4 La Liga matches, Barcelona haven't conceded a single goal.
Barça also defeated Napoli and made it to the quarterfinals of the Champions League for the first time in 4 years.
No matter how you slice it, Pau Cubarsi is nothing short of a phenomenon. How many central defenders have you seen who, at the age of 17, have a fixed place in the squad of the world football giants and deliver top performance after top performance against the best center-forwards of Europe?
Within these two months, Pau silenced, for example, Victor Osimhen, who could do nothing against the Catalans in the Champions League, and as a result, Napoli got eliminated from the competition.
Alvaro Morata also experienced the strength of Cubarsi's talent. The striker was not only eaten up by the young center-back, but Barcelona also destroyed Atletico at the Wanda Metropolitano with a 3-0 score.
The same thing happened to Borja Mayoral in the match against Getafe. Both Morata and Mayoral are currently among the top 5 La Liga scorers, yet they found nothing to oppose Cubarsi.
Guys, like this video if you are impressed by this young man's game!
Let the numbers speak
All of the above is not just bravado. Let's look at some numbers. First of all, pay attention to the scores of the aforementioned top strikers against Cubarsi. Quite eloquent, isn't it?
And here is Pau's stats in the match against Atletico. The center-back had a passing accuracy of 94.8%, including 7 accurate long balls, making 2 blocks, 6 clearances and winning 3 duels.
His strengths are calmness, anticipation and awareness. For a 17-year-old, this is an incredible combination of skills. You can recognize Virgil Van Dijk's style in the way Cubarsi reads the game and operates in the episodes. The Dutchman also tends not to jump out at his opponent, but to hold his position to the last and switch on as soon as the latter makes a wrong maneuver.
This style of Cubarsi allows Barcelona to maintain the defensive structure and minimize shots against their goal, because Pau's approach helps to block most shots. This is largely why the Catalans' defense has improved so much since Cubarsi's arrival.
What else is impressive about Pau is his consistency. For example, he has made the most defensive tackles of any player on the pitch in Barca's last three games against Mallorca, Napoli and Atletico.
Not enough? Then take some more. Despite making his debut only two months ago, Pau is already the best young defender in La Liga. Among all center-backs under the age of 23, he is the best in terms of accurate passes per 90 minutes, accurate long balls, shots blocked, and tackles won.
Logically, he has the best percentage of accurate passes and duels won. Pau also is the least dribbled past young defender per 90 minutes.
He also ranks second in key passes and third in aerial duels won. What a beast!

everyones talking about yamal and cubarsi, but dont forget about fermin. In the game against napoli fermin connected the defense and the offense so well. Everytime he got the ball he turned his man and he also scored the first goal in that game.

You are right about fermin, I love the two dual but they are becoming over heap, forgetting about fermin who defend and score wen needed..

@abhimantigga1726 Ай бұрын

Fermin is good but little unpolished in a role that's essentially a controller, or to play for retaining possession, but his attacking IQ makes him one to charged with changing games, he will get mature at controlling and linking the play.

fun fact, the three youngest players to debut in the Spanish National Team are Yamal, Cubarsi, and Gavi. All from Barça and three absolute wonders

Curbasi ratings could skyrocket if Barcelona defense could neutralize Mbappe and Dembele.

Well they have been already playing a lot of football why?? They are academy players they had to go through a lot of training and lot of games. Its not easy to make the first team man. Only the best of the best gets chosen. And also managers play big role of how you are using the player. How you are able to bring out his potential. Some players get hypes and that gets into their head but true footballers will keep their consistency and will get to the top eventually. Just because some of them got hyped and eventually ruin everything does not means all of them will.
