Pau Cubarsi has handed over the luxury car gifted to him by Barcelona sponsor Cupra after his parents told him he should not drive it.
The defender is already regarded as one of the best players in his position in European football, and recently won the Golden Boy award as Europe’s best young footballer.
Despite his rising profile, Cubarsi does not drive a luxury vehicle. Cupra, Barcelona’s automotive sponsor, gives cars to the club’s players, but Cubarsi chose to pass his car on to his father.
“My parents said that I shouldn’t drive a luxury car,” Cubarsi said.
Barcelona’s next match is against Villarreal on 22 November.
