The emergence of Pau Cubarsí into the elite of Spanish football can no longer go unnoticed. Without being an attacking player, who always shines more because of his actions, Barcelona’s youthful defender (just turned 17) is aiming for the Spanish National Team and Luis de la Fuente plans to call him up for the next La Roja commitments.

The delicate economic situation that Barça is going through forces it to bet more than ever on La Masia.
“The truth is that it has been one of the best days of my life. We have gone to the quarterfinals after difficult years at the club, happy to win the trophy, but this trophy is deserved by the entire team because we have gone out to win from the beginning and that is how it has been seen,” explained the center back in the interview he gave after being named best player of the match.
In fact, the surprise for the youth squad was even greater when, after fulfilling his commitments to the press, he was received in the locker room by his teammates with a standing ovation.

In the mixed zone after the match, Cubarsí, asked if this Friday he will be more aware of the Champions League draw than of the coach’s list, said: “I will be aware of both, because both are important, but I will be more aware of the draw for the Champions. It may be there, I don’t know, when the list comes out we’ll see. If so, very happy and if not, more opportunities will be given.”
Don’t worry, the Champions League draw is a mystery, but the call-up thing seems to be a given.
