Pau Cubarsi’s dream Spain partner choice highlights Mbappe’s sway

At Barcelona’s training ground, defender Pau Cubarsi was asked which player he would add to Spain and named Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe.

He later confirmed Mbappe as his dream Spain teammate.

Mbappe has been in excellent form, helping Los Blancos keep an eight‑game winning streak.

He has also scored in each of his last seven outings for Los Blancos.

Mbappe’s fitness doubts and Cubarsi’s admiration

Recent discomfort, however, leaves Mbappe doubtful to feature for Spain.

The 19‑year‑old said he would choose Mbappe over any other world‑class player.

First‑hand experience and Clasico heroics

Cubarsi knows first‑hand how hard it is to contain the Frenchman, having faced him himself.

In last month’s Clasico, a 2‑1 Madrid win, Mbappe scored a brace to secure the points while Cubarsi could do little to stop him.

That match also saw Mbappe reach his 100th goal for Real Madrid.

He continues to break records with each game.

It is rare for a Barcelona star to name a Real Madrid player in such a poll.

Cubarsi’s swift choice underlines the admiration the 27‑year‑old commands among rivals.

Mbappe has earned admiration from his rivals.

Since moving to the Spanish capital, Mbappe has consistently scored but has not yet won silverware.

Mourinho’s project appears to be shaping a potentially special season for Los Blancos.

Cubarsi and Barcelona are poised to be Real Madrid’s chief league rivals, giving Los Blancos early bragging rights.

It remains to be seen if Mbappe can sustain his form after the international break and if Madrid can keep their streak.
