Xavi entrusted the academy graduate with a spot in the starting lineup, marking only his eighth senior league start. Cubarsi partnered with Inigo Martinez in central defense, filling in for Ronald Araujo who was suspended for the match.

Facing a Mallorca side employing a 5-3-2 formation with two experienced strikers, Cyle Larin and Vedat Muriqi, Xavi was impressed by Cubarsi’s ability to handle the threats posed by the opposition.

In other news, Barcelona has received a remarkable bid from French powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain for their teenage prodigy Lamine Yamal, signaling PSG’s intent to rejuvenate their squad. Reportedly, PSG has tabled a staggering offer of €200 million for the 16-year-old Spanish international. With superstar forward Kylian Mbappe set to depart the Parc des Princes as a free agent in the summer, PSG aims to secure Yamal as his potential replacement.

If Barcelona were to accept PSG’s bid, it would mark their second largest sale after Neymar, who was acquired by PSG for a record fee of €222 million in 2017.
