Cubarsi was asked whether he had thought about what it would be like to face Messi at the World Cup this summer.
Yes, I imagined it. He's been my idol since childhood.
I've never been able to see him in person, or on the field. I would have preferred to play with him on my team, but if I have him in front of me, I'll give it my all and try to defend him as best I can.
He was also asked about Julian Alvarez amid continued speculation about the forward's future.
He's a spectacular player, as I already said. We all know the quality he possesses.
There are many rumors, as there are every summer, but I'm focusing on the ones we have now: Ferran and Gordon, who has just joined.
Cubarsi offered praise for Gordon, saying he knows the striker well after facing Newcastle last season in the Champions League.
He's very good. He's a player I've watched quite a bit and studied because we've played against him this season.
He's a very versatile striker, who's great at finding space… He's a player committed to the team, and I really like that.
