Pau Cubarsi (re.) im Duell mit Kylian Mbappe

Mit seinem Auftritt gegen Paris Saint-Germain am Mittwochabend schrieb der erst 17-jährige Barcelona-Verteidiger Pau Cubarsi Geschichte: Der Spanier ist der jüngste Abwehrmann, der in einem Viertelfinale in der „Königsklasse“ in der Startelf stand. Schon jetzt wird der Jungspund mit Lobeshymnen überhäuft. Ein Fan der Katalanen spricht in den sozialen Medien sogar bereits vom „nächsten Franz Beckenbauer“.

Nachdem Pau Cubarsi im Achtelfinale gegen Napoli sein Debüt in der Champions League gefeiert hatte, schenkte Trainer Xavi erneut dem Teenager das Vertrauen. Und Cubarsi zahlte es mit der nächsten starken Leistung zurück. Immer wieder war er gegen Kylian Mbappe zur Stelle und verhinderte, dass sich der PSG-Superstar in die Torschützenliste eintrug.

Seine Zweikampfstärke, seine Passgenauigkeit sowie seine Sicherheit am Ball beeindruckten einmal mehr die Fans des FC Barcelona. „Das war heute wieder eindrucksvoll von ihm. Es ist verrückt, was er mit seinen erst 17 Jahren macht“, staunte ein User via X. Schon jetzt gilt Cubarsi als eine der größten Defensiv-Zukunftshoffnungen im Weltfußball.

Gute Chancen auf Erreichen des HalbfinalesAm Ende durften Cubarsi und Co. über einen 3:2-Erfolg in Paris jubeln. Barcelona steht zum ersten Mal seit August 2020 wieder im Viertelfinale der Champions League. Damals gab es eine 2:8-Abfuhr vom späteren Champion Bayern München. Diesmal lebt die Chance auf das Erreichen des Semifinales.
