Xavi hails Pau Cubarsi and Lamine Yamal after Barcelona’s win over Real Mallorca

Barcelona coach Xavi was full of praise for teenagers Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi after Friday’s 1-0 win over Mallorca.

The two youngsters were once again the pick of the bunch at Montjuic, something Xavi was happy to talk about after the match.

“Cubarsi’s very intelligent, he knows when to go into duels, he didn’t miss any of them. Lamine made the difference with the goal, but Pau plays with pause, with the right quality, he’s always finding the right man, it doesn’t seem like he’s 17.”

Xavi then went on to speak about the match and was happy to see his side pick up all three points thanks to Yamal’s strike.
