Barcelona legend Gerard Pique has revealed his favourite player in the current Blaugrana squad, and it’s not the highly-touted Lamine Yamal.
Instead, the former defender highlighted teenage prospect Pau Cubarsi, a rising star who plays in a position Pique dominated for years.
Gerard Pique’s Surprise Pick
While many assumed Pique would name Lamine Yamal, given the young forward’s meteoric rise and La Masia roots, Pique opted for Cubarsi, stating:
“Everyone will say Lamine, but for me, it’s Pau Cubarsi.”
Pique’s admiration for Cubarsi stems from the stylistic similarities between the two defenders.
The young prospect’s composure and promise in the backline have clearly caught the eye of one of Barcelona’s greatest modern-day defenders.
