Barça have won a spectacular game of roller hockey at Pons Lleida, fourth in the table going into the game and who put up a strong challenge a few day's ahead of Barça¡s important trip to Portugal in the Champions League.

These two teams score a lot of goals and we only had to wait three minutes for the first, Darío Giménez for the home side, but Ferran Font very quickly levelled us up again and Marc Grau put Barça ahead after 9 minutes.

Ferran Font extended the lead with a class free hit, but just as Barça looked in full control, Nuno Paiva nabbed one back for Lleida. After the break, Pablito Álvarez re-established the two-goal cushion, but when Moncusí again reduced the difference, and we were headed for a spectacular finale, with balls hitting the woodwork, extraordinary saves and Barça defending tooth and nail to hold on for an impressive win.
