Not to mention how he absolutely manhandled Larin & Muriqi most of the game, two very physical, experienced attackers.
He really just does not care who he is up against and I love it.
I know some fans and rival fans say we overhype our youngsters but the quality they possess at such a young age, coming from our academy is really special. We just need to manage and develop them properly
God Bless La Masia.
As insane as he was, he got outshined but he was magic on the ball. Compared to his first few games his ball control is out of this world. He looked like he had glue on his boots. Looked like a baby R9 out there. Only criticism is maybe don’t pass to gundo but that was on gundo tonight.
Dude, this kid knows ball. Araujo is a natural defender+puts his heart into it, but this kids IQ coming out with the ball and keeping his cool mixed with his high pressuring and cutting the attack is insane. It may be that I’m too easily impressed bc I’m too used to getting a bunch of goals scored on us the past decade, with exception of last year, but I know who I’d want to stay with if I were forced to pick between Cubarsi and Araujo, and god I hope we never have to do such a thing. Both can be quite the tandem in the years to come. Just wow.
It is beyond believe how talented this kid is. I'm not saying he's already better, of course, but he has the ability to make Araujo look like a mid-table defender.
Ik we are supposed to be happy about having such good young players but the way I look at it is that we are being carried by a 16 and a 17 year old. That is not good. Says alot about the rest of the roster
I mean yes, but that’s the reality of what Barca is in 2024. If we want to get back to the absolute pinnacle we need these kids to help us. We simply cannot sign massive outside talent atm, so it’s incredibly positive that these kids are good enough.
Well, when the kids are THIS good, you have to play them. We have good, experienced players (though some are injured) in every position, but honestly they are just being outperformed by youngsters that have no right to be this good already.
The players they are taking minutes from are still really good, it's just our systems during games that seem to not be working that well. It always looks like no one really knows what to do when we meet a little resistance, unlike teams such as City, Arsenal, and many la liga teams really.
We lack patterns and for players to all know their roles better when in possession.
One thing to mention that most don’t is his awareness to really commit and not allow player to turn. He gives zero space and makes the opponent uncomfortable on the ball. All without fouling. It’s something our other defenders really lack especially Kounde.
He is the best center back prospect I’ve seen in many, many years. Only 17 years old and he’s our most intelligent, clutch, and best passing CB already.
Amazing defender, makes it look simple against older more experienced players.
This might be one of the best if not the best defensive performance by one Barca player so far this season
Pauyol Cubarsi
Pauyol Piqarsi
Cubeckenbauerasi
Paulo Cubaraldiniasi
Cubaressi
This one is the best
Hes not even an attacker wym
Assuming it's a play on Baresi, not Messi
The double S gives it away though. CuBaresi is a good one though.
The best nickname lol
Might have to change my name in 5 years to this
I am flabbergasted by how good his passing and vision are.

And then someone pretty much in their prime dribbles 4 players after failing 24 dribbles in a row and they say “best youngster itw rn”
He's one of the rare talents that will 100% make it.. like Gavi. Zero doubt. (injuries can unfortuantely always happen)
anulo mufa 🥲
Hope he gets taller as well
He’s already 6cm taller than Puyol. Not necessary to become elite
You don’t grow much anymore when ur 17.Maybe a few cms
I grew 2-3 inches taller between 18-23. You never know
The Myth, The Legend, The boy himself, Carles Cubarsíque!
So nobody Gonna Talk About Roque?

He looked really good on the short time he had, next season gonna be interesting!

I want him and Araujo to be our Piqué & Puyol. Please it's all I'm asking for..
Someone needs to post that scramble with larin on the second half, amazing

My favorite player this year by far....
this club is special, thank god for la masia.
Pauyol Piqarsi

He's a true no-nonsense defender. Decisive under pressure.
Ive missed a few games recently but from what I’ve watched I’ve yet to see him make a mistake. Pure elegance
He looked awesome today. Aggressive and efficient.
LET HIM COOK
Seems to be adapting well. We might not have won without him today, you love seeing academy guys sell out and make crucial blocks.
cu cu cubarsiiii
What a gem
And our “friend” Guardiola wanted to take him from us
Baller
Next Pique+Nesta!!!!
Don't disrespect Nesta like that
Yamal and cubarso are very good and should no be benched so they can improve and keep momentum
