The three Intercontinental Cups
Although the trophy has not been consistently disputed for a number of reasons, FC Barcelona has
won it on three occasions. The first time was in 1997/98, with Carlos Figueroa on the bench. The
second was in Quim Paüls’s first season in 2005/06 and the third was in his last season as
first team coach.
The first trophy of the season
After a gruelling 11 games in 12 days, Barça Sorli Discau won a convincing 3-1 victory against American champions Concepción of Argentina.
Despite the accumulated tiredness, the will to win is completely ingrained in the professional
roller hockey squad and European champions Barça Sorli Discau powered their way to their third
Intercontinental Cup against Concepción of Argentina.
The players coached by Quim Paüls made the supreme effort just 24 hours after losing the
final of the Roller Hockey Club World Championship in Reus. Carlos López scored the only goal of
the first half. The Argentines equalized just after the break but Barça’s quality was
rewarded with a second goal a minute later. The final score was 3-1 and Alberto Borregán was able
to lift the first trophy of the season.
