Rafa Marquez and Barcelona Atlètic show the future is bright

The Barcelona first team may be coming off of a disappointing campaign that raises doubts for the future, but the B team flew under the radar as a surprising success story.

Just one win away from promotion, ultimately falling short by just one goal against Cordoba, formerly a first division team.

Ironically, doing it in the most Barcelona way possible, on a mistake by playing dangerously, and perhaps naively, out of the back, during a crunch moment of the game.

Still, Rafa Marquez and his players surpassed expectations, and they did it by showing a fighting spirit, not backing down to anyone.
