Barcelona B

Ground: Mini Estadi

Visits: 1

Date: 20th February 2016

Match: Barcelona B - Atlético Levante  2-0  (Segunda B, Grupo 3)

Attendance: 959

 

A few days before I left for Spain I got a tip about doing a double on Saturday evening. Barcelona B play in Segunda B (level 3) and their game against Atlético Levante, at Mini Estadi, kicked-off at 20.45. Knowing I would be very late for the game I had visited Mini Estadi earlier in the day. I wanted to know how to make it from the nearby metro station (Collblanc) as quickly and smoothly as possible. It is not a long walk but coming out from a metro station at night, not knowing where to walk and being in a hurry it is easy to make mistakes! During my visit earlier in the day I did the ground tour at Camp Nou but I also bought a ticket for the game at Mini Estadi. Mini Estadi was opened in 1982 and has a capacity of 15 000. It is situated across the street from Camp Nou and is currently the home of Barcelona B, the Barcelona women´s team as well as Juvenil A.

 

The entrance to Mini Estadi is on the opposite side if you come from Collblanc metro station. I could hear the Barcelona anthem but I didn´t make it to kick-off, I missed the first 1 minute and 50 seconds of the game. I was stilled pleased with my effort though. I had no idea what kind of attendance a game like this would have but once inside I estimated around 1 000 were present. Barcelona B were the better team but it was an Atlético Levante own-goal that made it 1-0 shortly before half-time. In the second half Barcelona B scored again to win the match 2-0. For obvious reasons there was no atmosphere at all during the game but still an ok game to watch and a bonus ground for me. Shortly before 11pm I was back at my hotel where I had a drink before falling asleep. Tomorrow I will travel to Girona for the Segunda División fixture between Girona and Real Oviedo.
