Barça 3-2 Jaén: Comeback before Europe

See-saw encounter eventually settled by Catela's winner

A fourth league win in a row for the futsal team is ideal preparation for the Main Round of the Champions League, and even though Barça won't be playing next week, they will stay top of the table regardless.

 

But this was no walk in the park, with Jaén giving the Catalans plenty to think about on Saturday night. Although Pito's goal earned Barça an early lead, Renato and Dani Zurdo turned things around for the visitors. An eunexpected home defeat was looming before Dyego and Catela nabbed two late goals to make it 3-2 at the Palau Blaugrana.
