The melon expedition adds to the pichichi with the intention of scoring for the fifth time on the circuit of the giant Barcelona
The return of top scorer Lucao is the best news for Jimbee Cartagena. The Brazilian has been pampered for a few weeks, he has trained hard and this afternoon (Palau Blaugrana, 6pm) Duda will pull him to surprise Barcelona. Futsal from Cartagena has made waves in the past four visits to the city of Barcelona, with one win and three draws as a result. Scratching something positive again is key to fighting for leadership or, at least, avoiding Barça in the Spanish Cup.
The melon squad is especially competitive in the Palau, where they usually play big futsal matches and put Barcelona in trouble. It has done so in recent visits with draws in May 2022 (2-2), October 2020 (2-2) and January 2020 (1-1), all with Duda on the bench. The epic victory on February 22, 2019 (4-5) is well remembered, thanks to Fernández’s goal at the buzzer.
At that time, Lucao had not even landed in Cartagena. Today, the Brazilian is Jimbee’s main offensive weapon, dragging strangers out of Javivi and Bebe without revealing the coach. Barcelona are in command with 28 points, but have the casualties of Ferrao, Pito and Antonio Pérez. The Catalans are followed by Jimbee with 25, Palma with 24 and Jaén with 21. The Meloneros could be co-leaders or third depending on the results.
