Barcelona continues its impressive streak of nine wins in nine official matches, including eight wins in LaLiga and one victory in the Champions League. Center back PauCubarsí, who has been a key player in the club's defense, emphasizes that the team does not consider itself "unstoppable", but in a "very good dynamic, very positive and with a lot of confidence." Their objective is to prolong this succession of results as long as possible, maintaining discipline and concentration in each match.
Cubarsí highlights Galatasaray's strength in its stadium, where world-class teams such as Liverpool and Juventus have suffered defeats. Therefore, Barça must adopt a stance of absolute caution, despite their excellent form. The player mentions that the club's coach, XabiFlick, has emphasized the need to “play our game and be attentive to the small details.” Furthermore, he recognizes the pressure exerted by the Turkish public and the importance of maintaining concentration to prevent the rival from taking advantage of any opportunity.
Regarding his physical preparation, Cubarsí indicates that the World Cup has not affected him and that the coach has been dosing his playing time. “I'm prepared and he knows that I like to play every minute,” he says, showing his willingness to continue contributing to the team. He also points out that players like Pedri and Osimhen can be complicated in the first minutes, but that team cohesion will be key to overcoming those moments.
The center-back has not focused on the figure of LamineYamal, whom he considers an emerging talent who could aspire to the Ballon d'Or in the future. “Everyone already knows that he is the best in the world and that he deserves the Ballon d'Or,” he adds, although he maintains a position of respect and humility towards his teammates.
With the next phase of the Champions League on the horizon, Barcelona is preparing to face Galatasaray with a mentality of caution and confidence. The goal remains to maintain the winning streak and consolidate their position as one of the most competitive teams in European football.
