Barça 3-3 Porto Fidelidade: Comeback point

Losing 3-1, the Palau Blaugrana gets behind the team and they respond by stealing a late draw

Barça were heading for defeat at home to Porto Fidelidade in game seven of the WSE Champions League but they came back from two goals down to nick a draw. The Palau Blaugrana delivered its magic once again as Ferran Font (2) and Nacho Alabart got a vital point to keep the fire burning in Europe.

In one of the classic continental fixtures, it had been the Catalans who scored first through Ferran Font. But Di Benedetto almost immediately scored at the other end, and just after after half-time the same player and then Ezequiel Mena scored in quick succession to give the Portuguese side a 3-1 lead.

But Barça refused to give in that easily. Ferran Font pulled back one and with a show of class Nacho Alabart pounced on a rebound to level up the scores definitively.

Next up its Lleida in the league on Sunday at 12pm CET, while Barça's European future now depends very largely on what happens against OC Barcelos on Thursday.
