Sergi Roberto: Barcelona’s Pau Cubarsí was the best player on the pitch

Barcelona captain Sergi Roberto hailed Pau Cubarsi after another sensational performance from the youngster against Napoli.

The Catalans booked their spot in the quarter-finals of the competition with a 3-1 win over the Serie A champions in a game where Cubarsi walked off with the MVP award again.

Roberto, who set up the third goal for Barcelona, was quick to hurl praise at the teenager after a special night for the Catalans.

“Pau Cubarsí is incredible. He really was the best player on the pitch. At that age he just never stops surprising all of us,” he said.
