Barcelona's young and talented defender, Pau Cubarsi, spoke to journalists ahead of one of the biggest clashes of today, El Clásico, commenting on Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé.
He emphasized that the French star is different from regular strikers and that stopping his game is a very difficult task.
"Everyone knows what kind of player Kilian is. Unlike others, he is much faster, more mobile, and constantly searches for empty space. It's not easy to anticipate his running trajectory. Therefore, we must be very careful with him," Kubarsi said.
The young defender also emphasized that Barcelona had prepared seriously for this match.
"We also have enough strong players. This isn't just a clash with Mbappé - Real Madrid has key players like Bellingham, Vinicius, and Rodrigo who can determine the outcome of the game. Therefore, we need to defend ourselves as a whole team," he said.
These words of Kubarcy also gave hope to Barça fans - despite being 19 years old, he confidently plays in the center of the team's defense and is expected to continue playing in the starting lineup today.
For information, the El Clasico match between Real Madrid and Barcelona, the two contenders for the La Liga title, will take place today at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium in Madrid. The match kicks off at 8:15 PM Tashkent time.
According to analysts, this match will be crucial not only for points but also for the psychology of the season and the spirit of the championship.
