Barça B came into Sunday’s Third Division match against third-place Atlético Baleares in desperate need of good news. Three straight losses sounded the alarm around Sergi Barjuan and his young troops, and the Blaugrana needed to respond strongly against one of the best teams in Segunda B.
It didn’t start well, with Baleares going up early in the first half through Vinicius Tanque. But the home team came roaring back, thoroughly dominated the final 60 minutes of the game and scored three goals to return to winning ways in great fashion. And the first of the three goals came from 18-year-old Estanis Pedrola, who is the latest young attacker to burst through the doors of the system and give Barça fans some hope for a new La Masia star.
