Pau Cubarsí: 'Best week of my life'
Young centre back describes the thrill of getting first start for FC Barcelona in the win away to Betis
FC Barcelona needed a new centre back, and they've found one right at home. Pau Cubarsí made his debut as a sub against Unionistas de Salamanca in the cup and then got to start the league game against Betis.
And the day before his 17th birthday, he did a fantastic job in his 81 minutes on the pitch. "I'm very happy" he said afterwards. "This has been the best week of my life. It's so powerful to play for the Barça first team, because I have always been a Culer, so this is a dream come true."
"The day before in training I found out I might be in the starting line-up, but it wasn't confirmed until Xavi announced the team. I was so happy. I was very nervous at first, but as I gained confidence I started to go with the flow and be myself."
