    FT: Elche 1-2 Barcelona. It's all over here at Elche. Barca complete the comeback. Elche lead at half time through a Fidel goal just before the break. Ferran was subbed on for the second half and he proved Xavi right as he netted Barca's equaliser after 15 minutes. Depay completed the comeback to make it 1-2 with a penalty six minutes before the end of the 90. Thanks for joing us this afternoon and we hope to see you again soon!
