No weekend woes for Barca!

Roger Bogunyà

It’s been a great weekend for the Club, with the football, basketball and handball teams, plus the football reserve team, all well on the way to achieving their pre-season targets.

The football team’s 3-1 defeat of Jerez keeps Barca at the top of the Spanish league with just four more games to play. However, there were similar positive results for a number of the Club’s other sections.

Regal Barca

The basketball team pulled off a vital 84-74 victory against Unicaja to mathematically clinch the regular phase of the league. They have two more games to go before the Paris Final Four but the fact is that they are already guaranteed a place in the play-offs for the ACB title.

Barca Borges

Meanwhile, the handball team beat Veszprem in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals by 33 to 27. Though the six-goal lead doesn’t guarantee a place in the semis, a place in the Final Four in Cologne looks ever nearer.

Barca Atletic

And there was great news also from the football reserves. Barca Atletic beat local rivals Terrassa 0-1 and have clinched a place in the play-offs for promotion to Second Division A. With two games remaining, the team managed by Luis Enrique will be aiming to hang on to second place. While they cannot finish first they could still slip down to fourth.
