Barça 6-0 Voltregà: Into the last four

A handsome 6-0 win against Voltregà has booked a place in the final four of the Lliga Catalana for Edu Castro's Barça side. The blaugranes dominated the game from start to finish in the roller hockey team's debut at the Palau Blaugrana in 2023/24. 

Dominance from the start

With several players back from injury, Barça had the better of the game from early on despite Xavi Barroso missing a penalty on his return to the Palau for this third spell as a blaugrana. Nevertheless, just minutes later Pau Bargalló made it 1-0 and a second from João Rodrigues after a great pass from Alabart allowed the home side a 2-0 lead. 

Another from João and a goal from Alabart allowed Barça to take a 4-0 lead into the break. 

In the second half Alabart again was on the scoresheet after a rapid counter attack. The same player completed his hat-trick with a brilliant solo goal to round off a comprehensive win for the blaugranes. The victory set ups a semi final against Reus on Saturday 16 September.
