2026 FIFA World Cup: I do not fear Mbappe — Barcelona star declares ahead of France vs Spain
Spain international Pau Cubarsí has insisted he holds “no fear” ahead of facing France forward Kylian Mbappé in the 2026 FIFA World Cup semi-final, backing his side’s defensive solidity to neutralise the tournament’s most potent attack.
Luis de la Fuente’s side are set to face France at the Dallas Stadium in Texas on Tuesday, July 14, at 8:00 PM WAT. The victor will advance to the final on July 19 at the New York-New Jersey Stadium to face either defending champions Argentina or England.
Speaking to Diario AS ahead of the clash, the 19-year-old Barcelona centre-back acknowledged Mbappé’s singular threat but remained confident in Spain’s collective ability to contain him.
