Òscar García's team lost la Liga by just one point of difference, as Espanyol won the Damm 2-0.

Centennial Field has hosted a tough game. The guys have been Òscar García clear dominators of the first twenty minutes, but with little depth. The first highlight of the azulgrana set arrival has come at minute 13 of the hand of Miguel Ángel. The Barcelona player has started a move down the left wing, has outpaced the defense and has chutado badalonesa, but the home keeper stopped his intention. Dongou has tried building a few seconds after the ball game was in the penalty area, but has been successful and the rally has ended without further danger.

He studied at the American School of Barcelona and, especially, loves to write. It's what he does in his spare time he left the football of Barça and demanding studies. Whether you enjoy writing that is in the throes of a novel that mixes football and philosophy.
