Barca duly qualified
for the final of the Catalan Cup on Tuesday night with a 2-1 win away at
Third division Lleida. A determined team effort saw Barca dominate possession
and two first half goals from Gerard and Coco were enough to win
the tie, although the home team gave themselves a glimmer of hope with
a late second half goal. Brazilian B team player Thiago Motta gave an impressive
display in midfield and was unlucky not to score when his shot hit the
post.
The next game for
Rexach’s team is away to Tenerife in the League, on Saturday at 22:00.
