Barcelona is preparing for their return to continental action on Tuesday evening. They will travel to the Metropolitano stadium to face Diego Simeone's Atlético in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash.
Despite his unavailability, the 19-year-old defender has made the trip to Madrid to offer his support to his teammates.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the decision was a collective one: "Pau Cubarsí travelled to Madrid with Barcelona squad despite suspension as players and Flick agreed on being all together."
