I’m grateful for the coach’s trust and will try to make the most of it by giving my best. I always try to be me and play calmly.”
Future Prospects
Cubarsi’s journey doesn’t end with his debut. He anticipates another opportunity to showcase his talent in the upcoming friendly against Brazil at the Santiago Bernabeu. With continued stellar performances for Barcelona in the pipeline, Pau Cubarsi stands on the brink of potential selection for this summer’s European Championships.
