Barcelona coach Hansi Flick praised 19 year old defender Pau Cubarsi, calling him the defensive equivalent of teenage star Lamine Yamal. The La Masia graduate has become a regular starter in Barcelona’s back line and impressed with his maturity and reading of the game. Flick said Cubarsi still has huge room to improve and could become a major force soon.
As the spotlight continues to shine on young talents at FC Barcelona, head coach Hansi Flick has highlighted another rising star within the club’s system. While attacking prodigy Lamine Yamal has already captured global attention, Flick believes defender Pau Cubarsí is producing a similar impact at the other end of the pitch. Cubarsí, a graduate of Barcelona’s famous academy La Masia, has quickly become a regular starter in central defense despite being only 19.
His composure, intelligence, and ability to read the game have impressed both fans and coaching staff throughout the season. Flick openly praised the young defender ahead of an important European match, saying that watching Cubarsí defend shows a level comparable to Yamal’s influence in attack. The German manager also stressed that the defender still has significant room for improvement. At 19, Cubarsí is only at the beginning of his development and gaining more experience will help him become an even stronger presence in the back line.
Flick believes that with time and consistent performances, the young centre back could grow into a dominant force for Barcelona. Cubarsí’s rapid rise also reflects the continued success of La Masia in producing elite footballers. The academy remains a crucial foundation for Barcelona’s future, supplying talented players who can shape the next generation of the club’s squad.
