Bar\u00e7a’s victory in Guadalajara (0-2) allowed Pau Cubars\u00ed to play his 100th official match with the first team. The center-back played the second half of the Copa del Rey round of 32<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

Pau Cubars\u00ed<\/strong> experienced a very special day on Tuesday in Guadalajara. Although Hansi Flick<\/strong> included him in his rotation plan for FC Barcelona<\/strong>‘s debut in the 2025-26 Copa del Rey<\/a>, Marc Bernal<\/strong>‘s early booking meant the manager called upon the ‘5’ at halftime to readjust the Blaugrana’s defense.<\/p>

With Cubars\u00ed coming on for Bernal after the break, **Eric Garc\u00eda** moved to the pivot position and the player from Estanyol partnered Andreas Christensen<\/a> in the center. In this way, Pau reached his centenary with the Bar\u00e7a first team, celebrated with a hard-fought victory (0-2) that secured qualification for the Copa del Rey round of 16 on a historic date, as it marked Bar\u00e7a’s first visit to Guadalajara<\/p>

Cubars\u00ed Makes History at Barcelona at Just 18 Years Old<\/h2>

The defender also became the second youngest player to reach 100 official matches for Bar\u00e7a. At 18 years, 10 months, and 24 days old, Cubars\u00ed only has Lamine Yamal ahead of him on the list, who celebrated his centenary for the Blaugrana at just 17 years, 9 months, and 17 days in the draw against Inter (3-3) in the 24\/25 Champions League semi-finals<\/p>

The curious thing about Pau’s 100th game is that it also took place in a Copa del Rey match. The player from Estanyol made his debut with the first team on January 18, 2024, in the 1-3 victory against Unionistas de Salamanca<\/a> in the round of 16. The defender played the second half and provided an assist, definitively earning the trust of Xavi Hern\u00e1ndez<\/strong>.<\/p>

In the next match, the Egara-born coach gave him his league debut at the Benito Villamar\u00edn against **Betis** (2-4), playing 81 minutes in the Bar\u00e7a victory. Since then, Cubars\u00ed became a regular for Xavi, a status he has maintained with Hansi Flick on the bench. Alongside I\u00f1igo Mart\u00ednez, he was the most reliable center-back for the German in 24\/25<\/p>

After the Basque’s departure, Pau inherited his ‘5’ jersey and has already accumulated 1,593 minutes of action in 20 games this season. After the victory in Guadalajara, the defender expressed his satisfaction and pride at reaching 100 games with Bar\u00e7a in less than 2 years.<\/p>

“I am very happy about my 100 official matches with the club of my life. I debuted in the Copa del Rey and now I close the circle in the Copa del Rey, and I hope there will be many more<\/strong>,” said the Spanish international at the end of the match. In his 100 appearances with the first team, the center-back has scored 1 goal, provided 5 assists, received 20 yellow cards, and has not been sent off in 7,733 minutes on the field.<\/p>
