El Barça gana por fin una tanda de penaltis a Jaén y jugará la final de la Supercopa de España

Javi Rodríguez, entrenador del Barça de fútbol sala, no quería saber nada de jugársela otra vez en una eliminatoria con Jaén Paraíso Interior en una tanda de penaltis.

También es cierto que 60 segundos después la expulsión de Sergio González por una mano interpretable dejó al equipo azulgrana defendiendo el último minutos con tres y Dídac Plana, motivo suficiente para agarrarse a ese desenlace desde el punto fatídico como tabla de salvación. Y esta vez no sucedió lo de la final de la Copa de España disputada en marzo en Granada (0-0 y 4-2 p. para Jaén) ni lo de la semifinal de la Copa del Rey jugada en mayo en Cáceres (2-2 y 3-5 para Jaén).
