Cubarsi is simply one of the biggest anomalies in the sport, and I just have to contextualise it.
He’s been undisputed since 16 (!!) playing at the highest level week in & week out, in one of the most defensively demanding systems in football.
At 19 - he’s made over 120 apps for the club, won everything there is to win domestically, led us to a CL SF run, and remains on course for his second league title — all of this without a SINGLE consistent CB partner throughout his entire career.
If we look at his resume and all he’s already achieved, there would maybe be a handful of CBs over *generations* that would be as accomplished before even turning 20. And off the top of my head, I can’t think of any.
The lad is beyond special.
