It was a horror first half for the Swans against Barcelona B as they entered the interval 3-0 down.
However, a stirring second half comeback saw the Swans strike three goals of their own – two from Bauza and one from Brandy – to earn themselves a draw with the only downside being the late sending off of two goal hero Bauza.
And Roberto took the positives from that second half showing and admitted that rubbing shoulders with some of the best players in the world may have caused his side to lose some focus in the first half.
Speaking after the game last night, Roberto told the Evening Post: "In a way watching the Barcelona first team train affected us in the first half because we lost our focus
"But on the other hand seeing those players train is very, very positive. It's great for the boys to be pitchside watching the big names working on the same things we've been working on.
"After a disappointing first half, the boys showed mental strength when everything was against them. They found strength to fight back from 3-0 down against a side whose biggest strength is to keep the ball, and that's a huge plus."
