Despite facing some tough challenges during the game, Pau Cubarsi was all smiles at the end of the night. The young defender had put up a brave fight in Barcelona's Champions League victory over Red Star Belgrade, but not without some battle scars to show for it.
During the match, Cubarsi was accidentally kicked in the head by Red Star's Uros Spajic, leaving him with horrific cuts on his face. The sight of blood flowing from his wounds caused concern among his teammates, who quickly called for medical assistance. The 17-year-old was eventually substituted and taken to the dressing room where he received 10 stitches, according to reports from Mundo Deportivo.
Despite the injuries, Cubarsi seemed to be in good spirits after the game. In a video shared by his teammate Gavi, he can be seen smiling and giving a thumbs up, earning the caption 'my warrior'. Although the extent of his injuries was evident, there were reports that he could still be fit to play in Barcelona's upcoming match against Real Sociedad on Sunday.
The club also shared a picture of Cubarsi on social media with the message 'Everything for Barca'. This young talent has already made a name for himself in the world of football, earning a spot in Barcelona's first team at such a young age. He made his senior debut at just 16 and has since become a regular in the starting lineup.
Barcelona took the lead in the game through defender Inigo Martinez, but Red Star equalized through Silas before the half-hour mark. The visitors then took control of the game with two goals from Robert Lewandowski and another from Raphinha. Fermin Lopez added another goal for Barcelona, while Milson scored a late consolation goal for the hosts.
Despite the challenges faced during the game, Barcelona emerged victorious with a 5-2 scoreline. And despite the injuries suffered by Cubarsi, he remained in high spirits, showing his determination and dedication to his team. As they say, everything for Barca.
