“Former La Masia Prodigy Makes Waves Among Barca Fans with Four Consecutive Man of the Match Awards in as Many Games”

Takefusa Kubo has undeniably been a standout performer in the current season, setting La Liga alight with his scintillating displays on the pitch.

The Japanese winger wasted no time making an impact at the start of the La Liga campaign, showcasing his prowess by notching up an impressive tally of 3 goals and 1 assist in just 4 matches. What’s even more remarkable is that Kubo’s performances in each of these league encounters have earned him the coveted Man of the Match award, a testament to his consistency and match-winning contributions.

Kubo’s excellence extended beyond league play, as he recently shone in a friendly match against Germany, where he provided 2 assists in Japan’s resounding 4-1 victory. This exceptional performance only further solidified his status as a rising star in the footballing world.

For many Barcelona fans, Kubo’s recent exploits served as a poignant reminder of what could have been. The 22-year-old prodigy once plied his trade in Barcelona’s prestigious La Masia academy, fueling the dreams of fans who now wistfully imagine him wearing the Blaugrana colors.

Some fans took to social media to express their sentiments:

💭 Ayothezillian (Twitter): “Could have been our player now.”

💭 Noah (Twitter): “If he were Brazilian, he’d be worth £100 million.”

💭 Stone (Twitter): “La Masia is the best academy in the whole world. Disappointed how the previous board just ruined everything.”

💭 AGT (Twitter): “Made in La Masia but went to Madrid. No second chances for guys like him.”

Kubo’s journey has been an intriguing one. He initially graced the Barcelona academy from 2011 to 2015, but his time there was cut short due to the club’s punishment for breaching rules related to the registration of young players. In 2019, Kubo ventured to Real Madrid, yet his tenure at the club didn’t provide the opportunities he had hoped for.

Currently representing Real Sociedad, it’s worth noting that Real Madrid still retain 50 percent of the economic rights for the player, highlighting their continued investment in his potential.

Earlier this year, reports emerged that Xavi, Barcelona’s esteemed manager, expressed interest in reuniting with Kubo. However, as of now, this much-anticipated move has yet to materialize.

Takefusa Kubo’s meteoric rise in La Liga serves as a testament to his undeniable talent and potential. His journey is one of perseverance and determination, and it will be intriguing to see how his career unfolds, especially with the ever-present specter of a potential return to Barcelona still looming in the background.
