The Barça hockey team are on their way back from Portugal after a job well done. Ricard Muñoz's squad went to Lisbon to face Benfica with the clear objective of winning and clinching first place in their European League group and ensuring a quarterfinal return leg match at the Palau Blaugrana. In a very physical match, two goals from Marc Gual either side of halftime and another from Matías Pascual at the start of the second half handed Barça a 3–1 win along with the objectives they were after. Benfica, unbeaten in all competitions up until this match, could only manage one goal.
