FC Barcelona thrive in Andalusian heat, rout Córdoba 8–0 | FC Barcelona
It was no surprise that Saturday’s match at the Nuevo Arcángel in Córdoba, Spain, played on a lush oasis of green turf in one of the driest regions of the Iberian Peninsula, actually did take place under conditions likely to be found in the middle of a desert. Although the Andalusian climate is notoriously arid and hot — especially in the summer — the league encounter featured unseasonably high temperatures — 31ºC / 88ºF at kick-off.
