Barcelona’s youth affiliate have turned their season around with a remarkable month that has seen them win four games in a row to not only escape the threat of relegation but indeed give themselves a real shot in the fight for the promotion Playoffs.
And last Saturday’s win was Barça B’s best: the young Blaugrana welcomed third-place Villarreal B to the Johan Cruyff Stadium, a team that is still fighting for automatic promotion and had been in great form before their visit to Catalonia.
But Sergi Barjuan’s young troops played perhaps their best game in 2022, dominating the first half and scoring two goals in the second, one the on-fire Ferran Jutglà and one from Antonio Aranda who scored the winner with 15 minutes to go to give Barça three huge points.
