‘Things may have changed’ – Pau Cubarsí talks facing Victor Osimhen again ahead of Barcelona vs Galatasaray
Story updated
The story in brief
35-second readPhoto By Javier Borrego/Europa Press via Getty Images | Europa Press via Getty Images Pau Cubarsí will return to the Barcelona lineup for Tuesday’s Champions League match against Galatasaray, and the young defender will reunite with a very dangerous striker he’s faced once before: Victor Osimhen.
Cubarsí went head-to-head with the Nigerian striker in his European debut for Barça against Napoli when he was still 17 years old, and was named Man of the Match that night thanks in large part to his work in neutralizing Osimhen.
Two years later, Cubarsí is already one of the very best defenders in the world and will be trusted to once again deal with one of the most powerful and lethal strikers in the game, but Cuba seems more than ready.
