The CD Tenerife youth team has been eliminated from the Champions Cup after a 3-0 defeat against FC Barcelona this Thursday at the Johan Cruyff stadium.

The Tenerife side, arriving with a 2-0 lead from the first leg held at the Ciudad Deportiva Javier Pérez, was unable to secure their spot in the final four. Despite a solid first half where they kept a clean sheet thanks to defensive discipline and key saves from their goalkeeper, the home side managed to level the tie in the second half.
FC Barcelona's comeback was built on two headers that equalized the aggregate score. As the match progressed, physical fatigue took its toll on the visiting team, allowing the hosts to score the decisive third goal near the end of regulation time.
Despite the loss, CD Tenerife pushed until the final whistle for a goal that would have forced extra time, with a clear chance in stoppage time that narrowly missed the target. With this result, the team concludes a competitive season in which they performed strongly in Group 6 of the División de Honor.
