After Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 in extra time to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup, French star Varane commented on the final. The former Real Madrid defender, a member of the 2018 FIFA World Cup-winning squad and a runner-up in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, praised Spain's overall control in an interview with L'Equipe.

Speaking about individual performances for Spain, Varane specifically mentioned 19-year-old Barcelona center-back Cubarsi. He believed the young defender's performance in this FIFA World Cup was impressive.

Varane stated: "I really like Cubarsi. He is very calm. Technically, he handles the ball very cleanly and has excellent game reading ability. He and Laporte form a very complementary center-back pairing. Considering his age, his performance is quite impressive."

In addition to Cubarsi, Varane also highly praised the performance of the entire Spanish team. He said: "They all play the same kind of football."
