Rafa Márquez’s men solved the ballot well because the match ended 3-2. Since then, the Blaugrana have not conceded a goal in 405 minutes, which is the time since Calavera (Castellón) scored the second for the Albinegros (two minutes into injury time in the first half) at the Johan Cruyff.

His aggressiveness, intensity and commitment have served to make the subsidiary, together with Alcoyano, leader of the group, and Córdoba, leader of group 1, the only ones who have only conceded two goals.
