Barcelona’s youth affiliate arrived in the city of Seville last Sunday desperate for three points to keep their small hopes of promotion alive against Sevilla Atlético. A victory would put Barça just a point or two away from fifth place, the final playoff spot, with two games to go.
But things didn’t go according to plan. Sevilla scored two first half goals, went down to 10 men, but still managed to survive a Barça B blitz in the second half and only allowed a late goal to Santi Ramos Mingo to pick up all three points and pretty much end Barça’s dreams.
