It might be too soon to say for sure but in a few years time, we might see another era of La Masia dominance. World-class at young, now imagine later on

Araujo wasn't ELITE at the beginning. In fact many would say that he was really bad at distributing ball back then. He developed it under Xavi and he became somewhat of a decent passer just last season.

And today this 17 years old kid won his first motm award in his UCL debut and also he pocketed one of the best strikers rn ❤

Who's here after the second leg against Napoli. This kid is a beast

He really is a ball player, did anyone see the long ball he gave Fermin against Napoli? Also super aggressive he’s not afraid to get down and dirty. Super impressive for a 17 year old

Cubarasi just dropped a masterclass in his debut match in UCL against Napoli...Just 17 year's old he became MVP of the match what a kid

straight from his debut i said he is the lamine of defense it is unprecented on a scale even bigger than lamine's that a centerback is playing at 16yrs of age knew he was special when no one else did and now he has the highest passes per 90 among all the cbs in europe dude is actually UNPRESSABLE put any kind of pressure on him he just seems to glide right through without losing the ball and them line breakers man *IF LAMINE AND CUBARSI DON'T GO INTO AN ALL TIMER DEBATE WE HAVE FAILED AS A CLUB*

Who's watching this after that Cubarsi MOTM performance 🔥🔥

"give them some time to watch youtube and play fortnite, they need it !" 🤣🤣

Pique and Puyol are Catalans . Pau Cubarsí is a Catalan as well .

What a prediction... 2 weeks after this video Cubarsi started ucl knockout and won man of the match proving your statement right

Pique and Araujo would have been great, but injury issues aside. They were at opposite ends of their career. And Araujo needed to be the leader.

most underrated football youtuber right now bro

Lets pray the Spanish national Team shouldn't call him up and exhaust him like they did to Pedri 😢

Really amazing video, I’m glad I found this. Great in-depth explanation of our defensive woes the past few years and what has made us so successful/woeful in recent times. Very excited about young players shining like Fort, Cubarsi, Lamal

Debut. MVP. All in the same day. Masterclass paucubarsi 👏👏👏

Jeremy Matheu was amazing that season. As a backup option he was amazing

You are right, these young players need more rest and have a life of teenagers. Hopefully they don’t get injured or something like that. Cubarsi and Yamal are the future for Barca and they need to be taken care so they don’t get injured.

Pau Cubarsi might be one of my favorite center back I’ve seen lately on Barcelona. And at the end he comes from here, Catalonia, he has in him and la Masia helped made him shine! Awesome video Robby!!!

TBF Abidal was mostly a left back. But yeah Marquez and Gabi Milito were impressive depth options. With Yaya, Abi and Chygryns... not far behind.

just some correction. On 2008/2009 Abidal mainly a starter on left back position. He plays several times on CB position, but he was not the main backup for Puyol. Puyol's main backup was Gabriel Milito, who ironically injured more often than Puyol (at the time). Abidal was starting left back, with Sylvinho as backup plus Martin Caceres who can play both as right or left back. Nevertheless, the argument still stands, it was a solid backline, with Dani Alves at the peak of his career. This year, yes Cubarsi is great.. but do also note that the number of goal conceded by the team was when Ter Stegen is injured. Inaki Pena is good, but he is no Ter Stegen. At the same time the starting defenders took turn getting injured, and you are correct about the pivot position being the team's weakness. I the last 2 months, while it is great to see Cubarsi blossoms and Christensen can fill the pivot role well (defensively), don't overlook Ter Stegen's contribution. The team's solidity in defense has returned at the same time as Ter Stegen's return. That is not a coincidence.

cubarsi just won man of the match in his champions league debut!!!!! his future is going to be incredibleeee💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️

And he just became the youngest to win a ucl ko MVP

Marquez got them a bunch of crazy header goals and he was so aggressive. And the best at passing in all defenders, crazy good

Can you make a detailed video on how good pique was because I think that people do not rate him as high as he should be

Hopefully the team will use him well ❤️❤️ not overused or exhausted him and also play him well to get experience and confidence We did have potential names before but they burnt out early 💔

Cubarsi at CDM double pivot alongside Marc bernal would be like rodri & John stones duo tho , for CB promote mikail faye & mamadou fall from la masia

It's just wrong to enter Abidal in this equation. It wasn't until 2010-2011 that Abi was playing significant minutes at centreback. Yaya Touré played more minutes in central defence than Abidal in 2008-2009. The overall point still stands, but with a bit more research you would have realized that Martín Cáceres was Pep's fourth choice centreback in 2008-2009. Well, fifth choice behind Yaya by the time they had reached the Champions League final. Abi played almost exclusively at left-back in his first three seasons at Barça.

Great man, keep going and don't stop.

shout-outs from Mexico, Robby. Great video

I really hope they don't sell Christensen and Kounde, they're both so good and adapted to play in non natural position and are currently being fantastic at it.

I remember Marques scoring headers left and right from corners l

GK Fort Araujo Cubarsi Balde Gavi Pedri FDJ Yamal Fermin Roque Imagine this XI in The future👀

Outstanding analysis, I found this channel just by mistake, but you got my subscribe for this amazing analysis on the Barca game! Great job.

Quick question. Is it crazy to think Barça will win a champions league or two this decade? I can also see PSG, Juventus, Inter and Spurs / Arsenal doing well in Europe as well as Real Madrid of course.

Having 4 teenagers on the field shows how desperate our situation is ..

really nice to see how many academy players are being given a chance in the first team at some of the biggest teams in the world As a Liverpool fan i really love seeing Klopp giving chances to the kids in big games to show them that he fully trust and believes in them

Great video Robby, after Puyol, i think Pique's best partner, after Puyol is Umtiti. Pique and Umtiti at the peak of their powers set La Liga defensive records, it was incredible to watch

The crazy amount of goals we conceded isn't only because the backline wasn't at it's best but also cuz they didn't have a goalkeeper behind them they could trust. Pena is not at all at the level we needed, now Ter Stegen is back and slowly getting back in form, you feel that the defenders have a little more ease that if they make a mistake, Ter Stegen will be there

Im here after the napoli match you’re a genius dude he won the man of the match 🔥💎❤️💙

once again great vid robby

Something happens Robby: CURSE 💀💀

anyone after cubarsi destroying napoli

I am new to your channel, but honestly, this was a top quality video. I hope to see a lot more

and then Cubarsi pocketed Osimhen, beast Cuba cuba , MVP

Mikayle Faye is someone to watch too

In addition busqi was a defender on his first carrer so it would be interested to play him in Cm but as u said step by step consecration to his age

Prime Marquez over prime Pique....pin point passing and technique from the back on top of excellent defending. He was a great free kick and set piece taker as well and would get you some goals from headers. All around excellent and well rounded CB.

Well, now he's cursed.

Damn your voice is relaxing! Visca Barca ❤️💙

here after Cubarsi's masterclass against napoles

Great commentary. Subscribed

Even slight tought of partnership between Prime Cubarsi and Araujo in the future makes me so fucking hard.

This lad got huge potential

The main thing for me that you pointed out is giving these players rest. Pedri after that 90 game year hasn’t been consistently healthy, gavi is now injured and yamal with cubarsi are going down that same trajectory

I think Faye and fall would compliment our defense as well

quality videos brother 😂😂❤

Pau Cubarsi could be our John Stones ngl! BTW we gotta rest him a bit like he's been playing quite a lot tbh.

bro, I watched his game vs Napoli it's awesome, and the long pass is like Virgil van Dijk..

trust in La masia they can only save us 🙏🙏

Great video! However. I do think Marquez and Puyol complimented each other more. Cubarsi resembles Rafa a bit more but idk he’s only played a few games.

Just saw napoli game a few hours ago and oh my goodness gracious

Astralaga Fort Cuibarsi Araujo Balde Bernal Pedri Gavi Fermin Yamal Roque Scary af the future is so bright man

Marc bernal is the next rodri in our academy do a video about him before he blow up

Mascherano was my favorite after Piques upto now

Bro this guy understood my theory on how barca risen and fell the pique needed Puyol and mascherano and In every transfer window that barca had after 15 I was always frustrated, cause they don't sign good enough defenders instead sign bankrupting players like Coutinho ,dembele, griezman I wonder how many hundreds of million has barca put just in these three.

As someone who was fighting arguing why pique is a top ten defender of all time this video made me so happy and you might think I’m over exaggerating but I come from Jamaica arguing about football takes a toll on

Too soon they will be a dominance of lamasia young football 'Pedri ,gavi, lopiz ,yamal ,now cubarci imagine having a stricker like halaand or mbappi from lamacia ..

vini mbappe rodrigo bellingham valverde tchouameni davies rudiger militao carvajal courtois subs -> camavinga,kroos,gular,dani ceballos,mendy,fran garcia,nacho,lunin,lucas vazquez,brahim,nico paz,david alaba,joselu no matter who will be our coach next season, we are going to win nothing against this madrid squad, we cant be dependent completely on la masia, we need to make some major moves in market otherwise we are so done.

I agree .Cubarsi wouod become one of the best defenders in football in future .He is combative and he is he is a ball-player which fits into the Barca style.What i pray against is for him not to get injured often and remain fit most times. As for making him a pivot.I wont go with that He is too young and inexoerienced for that role . Faye is another promising defender to look oit for in the future .He is a power play defender and tackles nicely to win the ball.I see a combo of Cubarsi and Faye in future .I hooe Barca keeps Faye .He reminds me of Nesta

Cubarsi should stay at cb and dejong should play further up the field..that way dejong doesnt need to join the defense to progress the ball

Eric Garcia came out with vengeance when Girona played Barca a couple months back

For a 17 year old to be starting on a top 2 Spanish league team is an incredible achievement and even more impressive since he’s a CB.

Umtiti was amazing for his first two seasons

I'd actually compare Pau Cuabrsi more to Rafael Marquez who I think is better than Pique.

Nice video dude

Great videos about football..im loving every bit

I still can't forget how lenglet was good in his first season for Barcelona and how he ended up after that 🤔

Bro might have been ahead of time. The boy destroyed Mbappe

The kid is performing absolutely brilliantly but let's just not overhype and let him continue to grow more in the game. I hope becomes one of our greats 🙌

At the beginning of the season Kounde was the best CB in the world and he was carrying our midfield until he got injured

this player is barca most popular player this week

I’ve never seen CB as good as Cubarsi at age of 17. Even Maldini, because he started his career as LB. We are witnessing something history of football never seen before. It is easy to be amazing winger at age of 17, but as CB it was not done and propbably possible. We are not putting pressure on kid, but he is not letting us to have other choise - he is the best CB is Barca already and in my opinion second best in Europe, just behind Bastoni.

The video aged out pretty well, kid is still solid and has a lot of future

you never mentioned the great right back Dan Alves

Attack wins you matches. Defending wins you titles.

12:19 besides Marc Bernal is on his way

Bro, age doesn't matter ,it's nothing, it's the mindset , intelligent, don't bring that" young player" thing in this debate

really great analysis bro.. love to see it from an american too. Visca barca baby

Idk man since u can no longer touch anybody defenders have it rough everybody is falling over just by gust of wind idk its just my opinion but i hate the fact that rarerly theres defending like puyol,nesta,maldini and many other greats that agresive defending since everyone is just falling over spenging more time complaing to the ref just to get the other player cards i miss the good old days of football

Just yesterday I saw him dominating osimen is the champions league

You are good man. I subscribe.

Just hope that he doesn’t end up like mingueza

Man of the match today vs napoli ❤️

Defensive is our problem and individual mistakes also

I wish Bartra played as well in Barca as he did in BVB and Betis for a while

you know ur shit bud, ive been a barca fan for ages and totally agree with your comparisons and assessment

The youth is the future but too early for the present

Nice video 🎉,well said

My guy looks so young… I guess he was watching rerun of the Puyol/Pique matches lol
