Pau Cubarsi reportedly had a stomach bug when playing El Clasico

Journalist Helena Condis said that Barcelona’s Pau Cubarsi played through a stomach bug during the team’s 4-3 El Clasico triumph over Real Madrid on Sunday.

The 18-year-old defender was replaced in the 57th minute because he wasn’t feeling well, not because he was injured.

Cubarsi started the game and was instrumental in Barcelona’s significant victory, which moved them one step closer to winning La Liga, even though he was fighting the virus.

His will to play despite being ill demonstrates his dedication to the team and his fortitude under pressure.
