Spain's 19‑year‑old defender Cubarsí shines at World Cup

Spain finished the group stage without conceding a goal, largely crediting the defensive work of 19‑year‑old Cubarsí. The youngster averaged five recoveries and three aerial duels won per match, consistently neutralising opponents.

His veteran‑like composure earned the trust of the coaching staff and bolstered the team’s confidence. Cubarsí’s impact is already being hailed as a key factor in Spain’s World Cup run.
