Attacking midfielder JuanYbarra became the hero of Barça Atlètic's final day by scoring the decisive goal against Logroñés, sealing the 1‑0 victory at the Estadi JohanCruyff and securing the position of leader of Group 2 of the Second RFEF. The goal came in the 85th minute, when Ybarra entered the field to replace OrianGoren and, after a good uncheck, stood in front of the goal to finish with precision and close the game.
The performance of Ybarra, who arrived at the club in July from Tenerife B, was key to consolidating the superiority of the Barça reserve team. The 22-year-old, who had already scored 13 goals and provided 9 assists last season with Tenerife B, showed his ability to find space and convert opportunities into goals. “I am willing to score many more goals,” said the player, who recently signed a contract with Barça Atlètic until June 30, 2028. As he explained, the rotation of players in the team allows each one to contribute their grain of sand, and he is prepared to give everything when it is his turn.
To date, Ybarra has participated in five games with Juliano Belletti's squad, accumulating 282 minutes of play. His intervention in the match against Logroñés exemplifies the club's philosophy: “We are all a team, both those who start at the beginning and those who come later,” he added, underlining the importance of taking advantage of every available minute to make a difference.
Ybarra's goal not only reinforced Barça Atlètic's dominance in the table, but also consolidated its position within the squad. The player, who began his training in the Rayo youth team, expressed his enthusiasm for the opportunity to grow at the club and highlighted the need to give maximum effort in each participation, whether it is five or ten minutes. "Playing here is difficult and it is already a privileged position to be in this club. So all the time you have, you have to give everything to score," he emphasized.
With the victory against Logroñés, Barça Atlètic maintains its leadership in Group2 and moves forward with confidence towards the next rounds. Ybarra, who joyfully celebrated the goal and remembered his family, girlfriend and friends, is preparing to continue contributing to the success of the reserve team this season. The team's next match will be seen as an opportunity for the player to continue demonstrating his scoring ability and reinforce his leading position in the competition.
