The statistics behind Barcelona star Pau Cubarsí’s Man of the Match performance in the club’s latest outing have come to the fore online.
And they only serve to confirm the defender’s deservingness of the prize.
Barcelona were of course back in action earlier today, locking horns with Getafe in a La Liga clash.
When all was said and done, the Blaugrana emerged on the right side of a 2-0 result, to take another step towards retaining their Spanish top-flight crown.
And the aforementioned Cubarsí, despite not finding the net, proved himself the star of the show…
From his berth at the heart of Hansi Flick’s backline, the 19-year-old conjured up a performance befitting of a player much his senior, showcasing his unquestionable talent, defensive nous, and impressive leadership.
And as alluded to above, Cubarsí’s showing has since been aptly summed up by the statistics.
As per the reliable Sofascore, the Spanish international managed all of the following across the 90 minutes in Madrid on Saturday:
- 16 defensive contributions
- 3/3 tackles won
- 12 clearances
- 3 recoveries
- 7/7 aerial duels won
- 112 touches
- 91/95 accurate passes (96%)
- 5/6 long balls (83%)
