In a La Liga match that just ended, Barcelona beat Valencia 2-1. Kubalsi started again and was praised by the new Barcelona coach Flick. Although he was replaced early, his performance was still remarkable. After the game, Kubalsi said in an interview: "The team's performance is very good. We are a young team, but we are constantly growing and improving." Flick also joked: For Kubalsi, the La Liga championship is more difficult and more meaningful than the Paris Olympic championship, because our competitors are too strong!
