Barcelona’s youth affiliate took the field last Saturday for one of the toughest games of the Third Division season, away to promotion hopefuls FC Andorra. No one expected it to be easy for Barça B, regardless of their form: Andorra have been excellent all season and are very tough to beat at home, and might earn automatic promotion when it’s all said and done.
So a good result was not expected for Barça B, but they needed to show fight to at least give the fans and themselves some hope that they can turn things around. Instead, what we got was ugly: Andorra thoroughly dominated Barça in the first half, creating chance after chance and somehow scoring only two goals.
