At just 19 years old, Pau Cubarsí has become a central defender for FC Barcelona, crediting his progress to the hard work of his parents and the values instilled from childhood. Despite growing recognition, he remains humble and grounded thanks to his family environment.
Cubarsí grew up around his family's carpentry business in Girona, where his father and uncle work. Although not deeply involved in the craft, observing their dedication has been a strong motivator for him. Witnessing his family’s efforts helped him stay focused and pursue his football dreams.
In everyday life, Cubarsí tries to stay low-key, often blending in with friends by sharing the same hairstyle, helping him avoid excessive attention in Girona. He admits being shy but more outgoing among close friends.
His upbringing emphasized two core values: humility and being a good person. Cubarsí feels these principles are vital to his career and personal life, noting that if he ever strays from them, his mother would quickly remind him.
This narrative shows that beyond talent and coaching from Hansi Flick, family support and strong personal values play a vital role in shaping young athletes at the highest level.
