Barjuan's side started the campaign with a point at the Estadi Johan Cruyff on Sunday

Barcelona B kicked off the new season with a 1-1 draw against Algeciras on Sunday in the newly created Primera RFEF.

Nils Mortimes gave Sergi Barjuan's side an early lead at the Estadi Johan Cruyff but the visitors earned a point with a goal direct from a corner from Tomas Sanchez.

The Primera RFEF is the new third tier of Spanish football. The division was previously split into four regional groups but that has been reduced to just two leagues of 20 for the new season.

Barjuan, who replaced Garcia Pimienta in the summer, has been tasked with helping Barça's second string back into the second tier of Spanish football.

After Sanchez's equaliser, it was Algeciras who were pushing for a winner late on against a young Barça side, with Gavi, Nico and Yusuf Demir all still with the first team.

Next up for Barjuan's side is a trip to Tarragona next Sunday and a game against Nastic.
