From the source

Barcelona are coming off a difficult week, with back-to-back defeats to PSG in the Champions League and Real Madrid in La Liga. However, with the Ballon d’Or ceremony set to take place later tonight, the focus will understandably shift to that.

Barça could be preparing to celebrate another major individual honour at the Ballon d’Or ceremony. However, according to journalist Santi Ovalle, speaking on El Larguero, Pau Cubarsi is unlikely to travel with Barcelona’s delegation to the ceremony.

This suggests that the teenage central defender may miss out on the Kopa Trophy, despite being considered the favourite to win it. The journalist then pointed towards another Barcelona youngster as the possible beneficiary.
