Xavi Evaluates Juvenil A Captain: Pau Cubarsí’s Impressive Stats

Xavi Hernández examines the performance of the Juvenil A captain, Pau Cubarsí, taking into account his remarkable statistics. Following the victory over Las Palmas, FC Barcelona conducted a training session on Sunday morning to increase pressure on the league leaders, Real Madrid.

In this session, Xavi had all available players and was reinforced by three players from the Barcelona B team and one from the Juvenil A team. Players such as Héctor Fort, Mika Faye, Marc Casadó, and Marc Guiu, who were included in the Las Palmas match squad, joined the Barcelona B team for their match in Navarra, leaving Xavi with Diego Kochen, Mamadou Mbacke, Diego Percan, and Nil Calderó.

Diego Kochen, serving as the third goalkeeper alongside Ander Astralaga, was present, while Mbacke and Percan were suspended for one match due to accumulated bookings and could not travel with the Barcelona B team to Navarra. Xavi also had the opportunity to train with Nil Calderó, the Juvenil A captain, who was not involved in any matches this weekend. Calderó, known for his goal-scoring ability as a right winger, has occasionally played as a full-back under Óscar López’s management. Xavi Hernández closely monitors Calderó’s progress.

With the upcoming Champions League clash against PSG at Parc des Princes on April 10 drawing near, Xavi is focusing on preparations. While there are still several days left, attention is already shifting to the enticing fixture against PSG, managed by former Barcelona coach Luis Enrique Martínez.

Xavi has time to prepare for the upcoming challenges, with the Copa del Rey final between Athletic Club and Real Mallorca taking place this weekend. Xavi hopes to have key players back for the European tie and the upcoming league classic against Real Madrid on April 21. One such player is Ferran Torres, who made a 20-minute appearance against Las Palmas, signaling his return from injury.
