Joao Cancelo was quick to shower praise on team-mate Pau Cubarsi after Barcelona’s 4-0 win over Getafe in La Liga.

Cubarsi came up with another stellar showing for Barcelona, earning huge plaudits from his manager after the win.

The teenager then took to social media after the game with a post to celebrate his team’s big win that lifts the team into second place.

Cancelo was quick to reply with the message: “Franz Beckenbauer Cubarsi.”

It’s a massive vote of confidence in the teenager from Cancelo, with Beckenbauer obviously a legend of the game who lifted the World Cup as player and manager.
