U10 A team win their league

The side coached by Jordi Pérez confirm the first title of the season for the youth football teams with a 1-0 win away to second-placed Cornellà

The U10 (Benjamí) A team is the FC Barcelona academy’s first champion team of the season. Jordi Pérez’s side won 1-0 at Cornellà to win their division with five games in hand. It’s been a wonderful season for the team, who in 25 games have scored 176 goals (an average of 7 a game) and conceded just 14. They are 21 points ahead of second placed Cornellà, who they beat today with a solitary goal from Marc Guiu, the league’s top scorer with 38.

The players celebrated the victory on the pitch, wearing specially made shirts prepared by their parents and FC Barcelona director Xavier Vilajoana, who is in charge of the amateur youth football, joined by Jordi Roura, the technical secretary for amateur youth football were there to congratulate them. The Barça players were also sportingly offered a guard of honour by the Cornellà team. And as tradition dictates, the celebrations concluded by giving the coaches a serious wetting!
