Before the Champions League confrontation between FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich this Wednesday, Bayern coach Vincent Kompany praised the talent of young Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsi. At just 17 years old, Cubarsi has impressed since joining the first team. Kompany, former Manchester City legend, did not hesitate to declare: “ Pau Cubarsi will be one of the best defenders in the world in the future“. For the Belgian coach, it is not just playing for Barça that is impressive, but above all the maturity with which he faces top opponents at such a young age.
Cubarsi, the Barcelona defense prodigy
Launched by Xavi last season, Pau Cubarsi is now an indisputable starter in Barça’s central defense. Facing a team like Bayern, this young prodigy will have the opportunity to prove once again why he is considered one of the future greats of world football.
