The Liceo suffered a tough defeat against Barcelona (8-2) in its debut in the 2024-25 WSE Champions League. A first half in which the Herculean club was far from the expected level of dedication (the Liceo conceded five goals without reply) greatly influenced the final result. The collegiate team arrived at the Palau Blaugrana in search of a positive result after the 6-0 that the Blaugrana handed them on the last day of the league competition.
The team, which initially rotated in goal compared to the OK League match, began to approach the Barça goal with a timid shot from Pablo Cancela, responded by the Barcelona squad with a long-range shot from Joo Rodrigues. It was, however, a corus who opened the can for Barcelona. In the third minute of play, Ignacio Alabart advances in the right profile and shoots powerfully to beat the Portuguese goalkeeper Tiago Rodrigues.
Just two minutes later, the former police officer Marc Grau He took advantage of a great offensive transition to put more margin on the scoreboard, leaving the Liceo groggy. Barcelona did not stop lavishing in the green-and-white area, encountering Tiago Rodrigues on several occasions, who prevented the Barça advantage from being greater for much of the first half.
Faced with the siege, the Lyceum sought to relax and he tested Sergi Fernández again with a good play by Ciocale and Tombita that ended without success for the visitors. The school team redoubled its efforts with a clear opportunity from Toms Pereira, but Barcelona continued to be very comfortable in the match.
in an unpleasant flashback of the league match, The Corueses conceded two more goals in just one minute. Just four later, the fifth arrived. His executioner, Joo Rodrigues, with a hat-trickshowed the lack of drive of a Lyceum that was much duller than usual, lacking the fang that these appointments require.
In the second half, with the conviction of being able to fight for the comeback, Toms Pereira scored the first for the Liceo. A minute later, Dava added the second for the college team to get closer on the scoreboard.
It didn’t take long for Barcelona to make the difference again with a sixth goal, this time through Xavi Barroso. After another goal from Bargall, Rodrigues put the finishing touch, closing the account with a night to forget for the team coached by Juan Copa.
