According to Get Football, the young midfielder, who is only 17 years old, had a remarkable day when Barcelona overcame Napoli by a score of 3-1, so securing a spot in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

With a 3-1 victory over Napoli in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, Barcelona was able to completely crush the pressure that was being applied to them. The club from Nou Camp was able to secure victory thanks to the goals scored by Fermin Lopez, Joao Cancelo, and Robert Lewandowski. Amir Rrahmani, who plays for Napoli, was the one who scored the lone goal for the Italian team..

In the win that Barcelona achieved, Pau Cubarsi is one of the most notable athletes. Xavi Hernandez, the coach of the home team, gave the 17-year-old center back the responsibility of starting from the very beginning. He was paired with Ronald Araujo to form the center-back partnership for the home squad.

Cubarsi became the youngest player in history to start in a Champions League knockout phase encounter when he played against Napoli. He was 17 years and 50 days old at the time. David Alaba, who was 17 years and 258 days old at the time, and Victor Froholdt, who was 18 years and 10 days old, held the previous record.

 

Cubarsi was selected the Best Player in the match between Barcelona and Napoli, thanks in large part to his outstanding performance. A great number of specialists have a high regard for Cubarsi’s capabilities, and many have compared him to the former player Gerard Pique.

Cubarsi will soon be tied down by Barcelona with a new contract, according to the Spanish press. This comes in the face of competition from a number of European giants.
