Pau Cubarsi
Since his debut for the Blaugrana club in the 2023/24 campaign, Pau Cubarsi has emerged as one of the biggest talents for the club's backline. Returning from a brilliant outing in the Paris Olympics, the Catalan defender was key alongside Barca teammate Eric Garcia, helping La Roja bag the gold medal. Having gathered significant game knowledge during his outings with the Catalan squad, expectations would be high for the young prodigy to deliver a masterclass on his season debut.
The defender would probably be seen pairing up with the veteran Inigo Martinez to guard the Barcelona backline against Valencia. Inigo, being a seasoned veteran, would have significant duties as well to lead the back four, alongside stars like Pau Cubarsi, Kounde, and Balde, as the Catalan team looks forward to garnering their first campaign win.
