The Azulgrana team comes from a duel against <strong>UD Levante<\/strong> in LaLiga EA Sports 25\/26, where they conceded a couple of goals and left several doubts about their defensive solidity.<\/p>  <p>After the departure of <strong>I\u00f1igo Mart\u00ednez<\/strong>, <strong>Hansi Flick<\/strong> has been forced to recompose the back line, looking for variants that maintain the defensive balance of the Bar\u00e7a team.<\/p>  <p>In principle, the coach&#8217;s bet was to line up <strong>Pau Cubars\u00ed<\/strong> and <strong>Ronald Araujo<\/strong> as a central defensive duo, a pairing that was barely tested against <strong>RCD Mallorca<\/strong>. However, against <strong>Levante<\/strong>, a spirited team at the <strong>Ciutat de Valencia<\/strong>, the defensive problems became more evident.<\/p>  <p>The <em>Granota<\/em> forwards, fast and skillful, managed to overcome the cul\u00e9 defense on several occasions, which is still trying to adapt after the loss of the Basque defender. The Ondarroa native, a left-footed center back hardened in a thousand battles, <strong>not only offered physicality and experience<\/strong>, but also masterfully orchestrated the offside trap and a range of technical resources to start the play from the back with the ball under control.<\/p>  <h2>The challenges of the cul\u00e9 defense without I\u00f1igo Mart\u00ednez<\/h2>  <p>In this sense, these first few matchdays without <strong>I\u00f1igo<\/strong> have mainly affected <strong>Pau Cubars\u00ed<\/strong>, who occupies the left defender zone. Against <strong>RCD Mallorca<\/strong>, relieved by <strong>Andreas Christensen<\/strong>, he was not tested because the opponent played a large part of the match with two men less due to expulsions of <strong>Manu Morlanes<\/strong> and <strong>Vedat Muriqi<\/strong>.<\/p>  <p>However, against <strong>Levante<\/strong>, although the &#8216;5&#8217; showed successes in the ball output and starred in meritorious actions, he was out of tune in the first <em>Granota<\/em> goal. <strong>Iv\u00e1n Romero<\/strong>, forward of the Valencian team, broke his waist with a skillful dribble without the ball, showing that covering that area is not his strong point.<\/p>  <h2>Eric Garc\u00eda and Pau Cubars\u00ed: the duo that could reinforce the cul\u00e9 defense<\/h2>  <p>Given this, it would not be surprising that for the duel against <strong>Rayo Vallecano<\/strong>, valid for matchday 3 of LaLiga EA Sports 25\/26, <strong>Hansi Flick<\/strong> makes adjustments in the defense. Specifically, the <strong>Cubars\u00ed-Eric Garc\u00eda<\/strong> duo has been tested in training.<\/p>  <div class=\"media media-image\" data-ck-asset-wrapper=\"\"> <div class=\"media-item\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Eric Garc\u00eda and Pau Cubars\u00ed in the match between FC Barcelona and Inter Milan in the 2024\/25 season\" data-id=\"1518040\" data-resize=\"9\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fcbarcelonanoticias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/fcbn-ed96acc2d6857ae2409dddc7ef413d55.jpeg\" title=\"Eric Garc\u00eda and Pau Cubars\u00ed in the match between FC Barcelona and Inter Milan in the 2024\/25 season\" width=\"1000\"><div class=\"media-title\">Eric Garc\u00eda and Pau Cubars\u00ed in the match between FC Barcelona and Inter Milan in the 2024\/25 season<\/div> <\/div> <\/div>  <p>Although the Martorell native has mainly played as a right back in this 2025\/26 season, his versatility and stellar performance could allow him to partner with the Estanyol native.
