Plzen 1-3 Barça: Into the Final Four!

Barça are back in the Futsal Champions League Final Four after beating hosts Plzen 3-1 in the deciding game of their Elite Round group, following big wins against Dobovec and Halle-Gooik in the opening games. 

Ferrao opened the scoring, but it was second half brace from Matheus that really set things in motion, and for the ninth time in eleven editions, Barça will be amomng the four teams at the showpiece event.

A draw would have been enough to secure the all-important top spot, so after taking an fourth minute lead, the Catalans were always in a prime position and seems to have matters nicely under control.

The two second half goals as good as sorted things out, and although the Czechs did manage to pull one back through Vnuk, they never really looked like scoring three more and Barça will be challenging for the biggest prize in European futsal in April.
