Cubarsi expelled after a terrible gesture against Benfica, the images ignite the canvas ! (VIDEO)
Big setback for FC Barcelona! In the 22nd minute of this first leg of the Champions League round of 16, the Catalan team is reduced to ten players after Pau Cubarsi is sent off. The young Spanish defender receives a direct red card for taking down Vangelis Pavlidis, who was sprinting toward the goal.
With this early numerical disadvantage, Hansi Flick must respond. The German coach makes a bold decision: Dani Olmo is substituted for Ronald Araujo, who is brought in to solidify the defense. This tactical shift signals Barcelona’s determination to avoid conceding and to minimize the damage ahead of the return leg. With one player less, the Blaugranas will need to show resilience to maintain their hopes of qualification.
The situation began with a remarkable individual effort by the Greek forward, who gained speed down the middle, forcing Cubarsi to intervene as the last defender. The referee didn’t hesitate to show the red card, though the VAR took time to review two critical factors: Pavlidis’s position when the action started and a potential foul by Benfica earlier in the play. After a brief moment of uncertainty, the decision was upheld: Cubarsi is sent off, and Benfica is awarded a dangerous free kick near the penalty area.
