Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsi names Real Madrid forward as dream teammate for Spain national team

Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsi names Real Madrid forward as dream teammate for Spain national team Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe has been in excellent form in recent weeks, helping his team maintain an eight-game winning streak. The Frenchman has found the back of the net in his last seven outings for Los Blancos and is now on international duty. However, Mbappe has experienced discomfort in recent days and is doubtful to feature for his country. His performances have also left an impression on his opponents, with Pau Cubarsi naming the Los Blancos superstar when asked which player he would like to add to the Spanish national team. Cubarsi picks Mbappe as his dream Spain team-mate The 19-year-old was asked to name one footballer from anywhere in the world whom he would choose to represent Spain alongside him. “Mbappe,” Cubarsi responded without hesitation, overlooking several other world-class players in favour of his club rival (h/t Madrid Zone ).

During last month’s Clasico , which Madrid won 2-1, Cubarsi could do little as Mbappe scored a brace and secured the three points for Los Blancos . The Frenchman also reached the milestone of 100 goals for Real Madrid during that encounter. He keeps breaking records like these with every passing game. Real Madrid superstar earns recognition from rivals It is not often that you see a Barcelona star pick a Real Madrid player as the answer to such a question. However, Cubarsi’s lack of hesitation in picking Mbappe shows just how much the 27-year-old is admired, even among his rivals. Mbappe has gained admiration even from his rivals.

However, with the way Mourinho’s project seems to be taking shape, this could turn out to be a very special season for Los Blancos . Cubarsi and Barcelona are set to be Real Madrid’s biggest competition for the league title, and Los Blancos will be happy to have gained early bragging rights. It remains to be seen whether Mbappe can sustain this form after the international break and whether Madrid can maintain their winning streak.
