Pedro Porro would have been interesting for us. Shame he just renewed.

Most over criticised player in the team this season. The loss vs Atletico was partially on him, but it was a very unlucky red. I'm sure he learnt from his mistake (if you can call it like that), and we will see a even more confident, more experienced version of Cuba next season.

Some folk just dont know what they are watching on the football pitch is the reality.
Cubarsi has been one of the best CBs in the world easily this past season and as said years back will go down as Barcas best and an all time great.

He will look back in 5 years and laugh at the wild high line he had to experience as a 17 year old

What a performance under pressure, don't forget this is his first time, he wasn't around for EURO as most of the other Spaniards. The best CB in the WC, best young player all very deserved. Seems like a very smart, nice and humble guy.
Hope Flick took something from this Spain WC about the system around Cubarsi and the personel. Our defense should be built around him for the next 15 years.
This should get him a load of confidence and respect, I expect a Cubarsi on an even higher level next season.

This tackle is as big of a save as that of Dibu in 2022

What the fuck was Ferran doing there LMAO. Didn't clock it live, but if they concieded that, it would've been mostly on Torres. Why the fuck did he stop there.
Incredible by Cuba to get in front, tho.

What is astounding about his level, is that CB is generally a very old position where young players struggle.
It is the position arguably most based on experience, and its usually much harder for young players to break through, whilst older players occupy starting positions for extended periods of time.
Regardless, he has an excellent claim to being the best CB in the world.
Even more shocking is it isn't particularly based on athleticism. He is athletically fairly average. He is just so, so good. Like, he is just exceptional at what he does and his knowledge of defending.
If you look at how he marks players, he does not allow an inch of space, and he never switches off, he follows the play to the end.
