Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsi labels beating Real Madrid as his favorite memory with the club
Pau Cubarsi has revealed that his favourite memory of Barcelona is the side's dominant 5-2 triumph over Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Sunday, January 12.
The game was special for the Spanish defender because he won his first trophy with La Blaugrana after the win. He said (via Barca Universal):
"My best memory is when we played in the final of the Super Cup and we beat Real Madrid 5-2 and I was able to win my first title with the club of my life."
The 18-year-old was also asked about his opinion on a potential UEFA Champions League final against arch-rivals Real Madrid. He said:
"Well, little by little, the truth is that it would be a good final."
