Noia Freixenet 3-2 Barça: European slip up

David Cáceres' team let slip a 2-0 lead to fall to defeat away from home

Defeat in Europe at Noia Freixenet with David Cáceres' team going down to a 3-2 loss in the group stage of the Champions League. 

The game began well for the visitors with Barça taking the lead after just 15 minutes thanks to a goal from Ferran Font. The first half saw Barça double their advantage when Pablo Álvarez found the net, scoring in Sant Sadurní against Noia being a speciality of the blaugrana's. 

Turn around 

However, in the second half the game unravelled for Barça. Xavi Costa pulled one back for Noia before Xavi Aragonés levelled the scores with Barça a man down after a blue card for Eloi Cervera. The numerical advantage eventually paid off for the home side as Bargalló netted the winner.

Barça will have to lift themselves up before Sunday's league game away at Voltregà.
