Pau Cubarsí is the latest young talent to emerge from Barcelona’s La Masia academy. The 17-year-old centre-back has been making waves in Spain, with some even comparing him to legends like Gerard Piqué and Franz Beckenbauer.
Susana Guasch, a journalist for Onda Cero, believes that it’s too early to say. She points out that Cubarsí has only played 10 minutes in La Liga and that he still has a lot to prove.
Guasch is right to be cautious. There have been many young players who have been hyped up in the past, only to fail to live up to expectations.
However, Cubarsí does have a lot of potential. He is strong, quick, and has a good eye for a pass. He is also comfortable playing with the ball at his feet.
It will be interesting to see how Cubarsí develops in the coming years. If he can stay fit and continue to improve, he has the potential to be a star for Barcelona and Spain.
But for now, it’s important to keep expectations in check. Cubarsí is still a teenager and he needs time to develop.
