Pau Cubarsi
19-Year-Old
Barcelona
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cubarsi featured in 35 La Liga games (29 starts) in 2024/25, contributing three assists from central defense. He earned his place in the starting XI and rose to the top of the center-back hierarchy with composed defending and intelligent positioning, especially for his age. His consistent performances helped the team navigate injury spells and secure the league title. Heading into 2025/26, Cubarsi is expected to be a full-time starter and headed for 30-plus starts. If he continues to progress, he could become one of the most reliable and solid young defenders in Europe. The goal for him and Barcelona is to secure more clean sheets, though given the Hansi Flick system, that may be hard to count on.
Set to start in defense
Cubarsi has been named in Spain's World Cup squad and is expected to form the first-choice central defensive partnership alongside Aymeric Laporte throughout the competition.
ANALYSIS
Cubarsi ended an extraordinary season at just 19 years old, making 48 appearances across all competitions for Barcelona and contributing one goal as part of a La Liga title-winning side that conceded just 28 goals throughout the campaign. The teenage center-back brings composure on the ball, aerial ability and a maturity completely uncharacteristic of his age, having already established himself as one of the best defenders in world football despite still being a teenager. Cubarsi heads into the World Cup as one of the most exciting young players in the tournament and a potential cornerstone of Spain's defensive line for the next decade.
