Ex-Barcelona TV journalist Jaume Marcet has praised 16-year-old Pau Cubarsi as the best center-back project he has seen at La Masia in the last 20 years. Cubarsi, who turns 17 on January 22, has been making waves in the Barcelona youth system. He has played for the Barca U19 team in the UEFA Youth League and the Barca B team in the third tier of Spanish football. Cubarsi has also represented Spain at various youth levels, including the U17 World Cup.

Recently, Cubarsi made his first-team debut for Barcelona in the Copa del Rey, where he provided an assist to help the team secure a 3-1 victory. Known for his impressive on-the-ball skills and composure, Cubarsi is already drawing comparisons to Barcelona legend Carles Puyol, whom he idolizes.

Cubarsi is not the only young talent getting a chance at Barcelona under coach Xavi Hernandez. 16-year-old Lamine Yamal and 20-year-old Fermin Lopez have also made their mark in the first team. With the influx of young talent, Barcelona seems to be undergoing a youthful revolution under Xavi's leadership.

It remains to be seen how Cubarsi and the other promising youngsters will develop in the future, but their talent and potential have certainly caught the attention of fans and experts alike.
