Barça Atlètic 3-0 UE Cornellà: Good vibes

Barça Atlètic are progressing well under new coach Albert Sánchez, and have won another friendly by the same scoreline, this time against UE Cornellà, who recently dropped down to Segunda RFEF, with goals from Guillermo, Edu Sánchez and Unai Hernández.

However, despite the excellent performance, there was the down side of the physical issues suffered by Dani Rodríguez, who could only hold on for a few instants before being replaced by Arnau Pradas. With Unai Hernández commanding the midfield, the reserves looked strong throughout today's encounter, and he was the man who set up a tremendous chipped finish from Guillermo Fernández to open the scoring on 18 minutes.

With president Joan Laporta, as well as Deco, Bojan Krkic, Hansi Flick and women's coach Pere Romeu among the onlookers, an almost entirely changed Barça Atlètic team added two further goals in the second half.

Edu Sánchez dribbled the ball past the rival keeper in the 59th minute and moments later a lovely solo move by Unai Hernández made it three.

The final preseason friendly is on Saturday at 9pm CEST at the Estadi Johan Cruyff against UD Ibiza, and it's free entry for anyone who fancies coming along.
