Pau Cubarsí
Pau Cubarsí Paredes (born 22 January 2007) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for La Liga club Barcelona and the Spain national team. He is considered one of the best young defenders in the world.
Formerly a Girona youth player, Cubarsí transitioned into being a La Masia talent, and he later made his senior debut for Barcelona on 18 January 2024, just days before his 17th birthday. He later won La Liga in 2025 and 2026 with the club.
A former Spain youth international, Cubarsí represented his country at every youth level from under-15 to under-23 level. In March 2024, he made his senior debut for Spain in a friendly against Colombia at the age of 17. Cubarsí went on to become a key member of the squad that won the 2026 FIFA World Cup, playing every minute of Spain's campaign and being named the tournament's Best Young Player.
Pau Cubarsí Paredes was born on 22 January 2007 in Bescanó, Girona, Catalonia, to Robert Cubarsí Vilaró and Gloria Paredes Parra. He has an older sister, Irene, who is a physiotherapist. He grew up in the small village of Estanyol in Bescanó, where four generations of his father's family had operated the family carpentry business, Fusteria Cubarsí, since 1905. Cubarsí is a great-great-grand-nephew of the painter Ginés Parra.
Cubarsí's first language is Catalan. While playing for Spain at the Olympic Games in 2024, he said that he rarely gave interviews because he was not fluent in Spanish, having only ever lived in Catalonia and used his native language.
When attending high school, he trained in the morning and attended classes from 3 p.m. Teachers from Lleó XIII school would go to La Masia (football academy in Barcelona) and give classes until eight in the evening. If he missed the class owing to games, he would ask for notes, or just pay extra attention the following day. After graduation from high school, he sat university entrance exams and was due to begin a university degree in business administration and management in September 2025. He planned to leave his residence at La Masia, where he had lived through his teenage years, and share an apartment with his sister in Barcelona.
Cubarsí began his career with Girona, before moving to Barcelona in 2018. Having progressed through the academy, he became the third-youngest Barcelona player to debut in the UEFA Youth League, behind Lamine Yamal and Ilaix Moriba, when he started in an eventual 1–1 draw with Czech side Viktoria Plzeň.
In April 2023, Cubarsí trained with the first team for the first time, having been called up by manager Xavi. He signed his first professional contract with the club three months later, on 8 July. He was included in Barcelona's pre-season squad ahead of the 2023–24 season.
