Barcelona’s young defender, Pau Cubarsi, has opened up about his admiration for former captain Carles Puyol, citing him as a key source of inspiration.
Cubarsi aspires to embody Puyol’s personality. He views the former Barcelona captain as a true leader who supports his teammates through good and bad times.
“My goal is to have Puyol’s personality and leadership both on and off the pitch.
“He is a leader who tries to help his teammates, and if things go bad he encourages them, and if things go good he pushes the team. For me, he is a role model,” he told El Periodico de Espana.
When asked whether he sees himself more as a defensive player or one who contributes to building the game, Cubarsi confidently stated that he can do both.
“Both, I’m good at getting the ball out and when I don’t have it I know how to press and be aggressive.”

Reflecting on the advice that has impacted him the most, Cubarsi shared that being true to himself and staying calm to boost his confidence has made a significant difference in his growth as a player.
“To be myself and try to play with what I know, and to be calm to increase my confidence,” he added.
Cubarsi also discussed the influence of fellow defender Inigo Martinez, with whom he has shared a position since the start of the season.
According to Cubarsi, Martinez offers guidance both on and off the pitch, contributing to his sense of confidence and security during matches.
“I have shared the position with Inigo since the beginning of the season. He is someone who helps you on and off the pitch and having him by my side gives me confidence and security.”
