Spain clinched a spot in the World Cup 2026 Round of 16 with an outstanding win over Austria in Los Angeles, and Pau Cubarsí played another great game in what has been an excellent tournament for the young defender.
After an inconsistent season at club level, there were reasonable doubts about Cubarsí’s ability to recover his best form for La Roja at the biggest stage, but those questions have been answered emphatically as Cubarsí is showing the very best version of his game.
His outstanding passing
from the back will always be the best part of his arsenal, but his ability to withstand the physical battles and make crucial interventions as a defender has been brilliant to watch.
Cubarsí is showing why he’s one of the best young defenders in the sport, and his performances are a big reason why Spain have not conceded a goal at the World Cup yet.
So today’s Barca Blaugranes Question of the Day is:
Is Pau Cubarsí Barcelona’s best player at World Cup 2026 and what is the biggest reason for his success?
