Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsi has revealed that he wants to follow in the footsteps of club legend Carles Puyol, softfootball reported.
Like Puyol, Cubarsi came through Barcelona’s famous La Masia academy before breaking into the club’s senior team and earning recognition with Spain.
The young defender has quickly become one of the exciting talents at Camp Nou, and he believes Puyol’s character, leadership, and commitment are qualities he would love to develop in his own career.
Speaking with Barcelona’s official website, Cubarsi described Puyol as a role model, both on and off the pitch.
He said his goal is to show the same kind of leadership and personality that made Puyol one of Barcelona’s greatest captains.
Cubarsi praised Puyol’s ability to support teammates during difficult moments and push the team forward when things are going well.
According to him, Puyol was not just a strong defender, but also a true leader who always tried to help those around him.
The young Barcelona centre-back believes those qualities are important for any player who wants to succeed at the highest level.
For Cubarsi, following Puyol’s path is not only about playing for Barcelona, but also about showing courage, discipline, leadership, and love for the club.
As he continues his development, the teenager will hope to build his own legacy at Camp Nou while learning from the example set by one of Barcelona’s most respected defenders.
