L'Escala 0-3 FC Barcelona B: Promising start under new coach Sergi Barjuan

The preseason campaign for Barça B under new coach Sergi Barjuan is under way. The former Barça player looked on and must have been impressed with the way his team controlled the game in the 3-0 win over L'Escala which begins the season for the B squad. 

Attacking intentions from the start 

From the start in the Nou Miramar stadium, Sergi Barjuan's team took the initiative. Peque was the first to find the net after just 11 minutes of the game. That effort was soon followed by goals from the Japanese winger Hiroki Abe and Jutglà before half time. All three goals came thanks to working the ball out wide and playing dangerous balls into the box. 

Barça B dominated possession and keeper Arnau Tenas was only called into action once in the opening 45 minutes to make a save from Henry. 

More chances in the second half 

After the break more chances came Barça's way but they were unable to add to their 3-0 lead. L'Escala tested second half keeper Carevic but were unable to get on the scoresheet. The blaugranes closed out the win and now look forward to their next preseason fixture against Fundació Esportiva Grama on 29 July.
