48: A New Dawn

The euphoria of promotion lingered in the air like the afterglow of a sunset, but as the days turned into weeks, reality began to set in. The celebrations had been wild and deserved, the streets of Barcelona alive with the jubilation of fans who had long awaited a return to glory for their B team.

Barcelona B's promotion was a significant achievement, but to stay competitive in the higher league would require more than just skill; it would demand resilience, adaptability, and a new level of mental toughness.
