Recreativo Huelva v FC Barcelona: Winning start (0-1) | FC Barcelona

The Colombino Trophy match between Recreativo Huelva and Barça will always be remembered for being Luis Enrique’s debut as first team manager. In a game decided by a solitary second half goal from Joan Roman, most of the players were from the B team. Goalkeeper Ter Stegen got to make his debut, and although he didn’t have much to do, on the few occasions when he was called upon, he did well.
