Sabadell
Five long years have passed since the last time the harlequin block played in the Second Division. At that time, in the 14/15 season, the penultimate league ended, and precisely with Barça B as bottom. Coincidences of life, both teams should have faced each other in the league the weekend that the Alarm State was decreed. Four months later, that match has turned into a duel of life and death.
The block led by Antonio Hidalgo reaches this final after overcoming two rounds of agonizing penalties against Atlético B and Cultural Leonesa. As a handicap added to that extra fatigue, captain Ángel Martínez will not be able to play today when he was sent off on Thursday. However, the Catalans have a staff with plenty of talent and experience to compete until the end for the prize.
Ace to follow: Ian Mackay. Sabadell's hero in these playoffs. His two stops in the sudden death of the penalty shootout against the Cultural were capital to be here today. Not to mention the three that stopped against Atleti. Goalkeeper, without a doubt, of a higher category.
