Notches two clearances

Cubarsi had two clearances in Monday's 1-0 victory versus Portugal.

Analysis: Cubarsi would help to yet another clean sheet for Spain, recording two clearances in the defense on their way to a fifth straight clean sheet. He would also complete 71 passes, needing to be more of the backboard in the defense with Aymeric Laporte constantly with a Portugal player at his shoulder. Cubarsi is yet to leave the field this World Cup and should remain in this role for the quarterfinals.

Five clearances in comfortable win

Pau Cubarsi generated one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Thursday's 3-0 victory against Austria. He also added five clearances, two tackles and one blocked shot.

Analysis: Cubarsi recorded at least five clearances for a second consecutive contest, and his partnership next to Aymeric Laporte at center-back has been perfect as Spain have yet to concede a goal in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Barcelona defender should stay in the lineup for the Round of 16 regardless of the opponent, as there's no reason for Spain to tweak things on the defensive end.
