Pau Cubarsi
18-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.
Two shots with clean sheet
Pau Cubarsi registered two shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Osasuna.
ANALYSIS
Despite modest defensive numbers, with two clearances and one interception, Cubarsi helped maintain a clean sheet. He attempted a season-high two shots, one a header from a corner and the other from outside the box, after having only four shots prior, yet remains without a league goal in his senior career with Barcelona.
