Barcelona’s young talent, Pau Cubarsi, has received a call-up from the Spanish national team for the upcoming international friendlies against Colombia and Brazil. At just 17 years old, Cubarsi has already made a name for himself with impressive performances for Barcelona, including being named man of the match in their recent Champions League debut against Napoli.
Cubarsi’s promotion to the first team in January has not gone unnoticed, as he now joins the senior squad from Spain’s under-17 side. Spain coach Luis de la Fuente expressed his confidence in the young defender, emphasizing that age is not a barrier when it comes to talent and performance. Cubarsi’s potential has generated enthusiasm within the team, and they are eager to see him develop further on the international stage.
In addition to Cubarsi, Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal, aged 16, has also been called up to the squad. De La Fuente commended the young players, highlighting their unique qualities that make them stand out in Spanish football. The coach expressed his certainty in their readiness to compete at the highest level and stressed the importance of nurturing young talent for the future of the national team.
The news of Real Madrid winger Brahim Diaz’s decision to switch international allegiances to represent Morocco was also discussed. Despite Diaz’s previous appearances for Spain at youth levels, De La Fuente respected his choice and wished him well in his future endeavors. The coach acknowledged the freedom of players to make such decisions and the importance of supporting them regardless of their choices.
Alongside Cubarsi and Yamal, Athletic Club defender Dani Vivian has earned his first call-up to the Spanish national team. The return of Tottenham right-back Pedro Porro, Wolves midfielder Pablo Sarabia, and Villarreal’s Gerard Moreno adds depth and experience to the squad. Spain’s upcoming friendlies against Colombia and Brazil will provide an opportunity for these players to showcase their talents on the international stage.
