So Barca B go down and its a drama which will invite reflection and discussion over how to avoid repeating it. Garcia Pimienta will stay in charge next season and will use La Masia players, and things will likely improve. But this year cannot be called anything other than extremely damaging.
Marc Cardona missed two clear chances as Barca B failed to survive.
