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.
Strong defensive performance
Cubarsi had two tackles (one won) and seven clearances in Tuesday's 1-1 draw against Newcastle United.
ANALYSIS
Cubarsi spared Barcelona from going behind early when he cleared the ball off the line after Joan Garcia spilled Sandro Tonali's fourth-minute header from a corner. From that moment on he was thrown into a reactive battle as Newcastle attacked with pace and direct runs, constantly testing the channels. Cubarsi delivered a brilliant defensive display and was arguably the best Blaugrana on the pitch, recording two tackles, seven clearances and a season-high three blocks to help Barcelona grind out the draw at St. James' Park.
