Swansea's players were given a unique treat before this delayed kick off as they got to watch the stars of Barcelona's first team train at the Miniestadi before the game, including the likes of Thierry Henry.

The friendly was originally scheduled for a 7pm kick-off, but with Barca's first team returning from their tour abroad, the Swans players couldn't complain as they mixed pitchside with one of the best sides in the world.

Andrea Orlandi was the centre of attention as he returned to the club he left to join the Swans last August.

The game eventually kicked off at 8.15pm with the Swans fans making plenty of noise after being kept outside while the Barca first team left the stadium.

As both sides looked to make an early impression, Mark Gower fired a 25-yard effort just over after five minutes, while Ruben Rayos headed against the Swansea bar two minutes later before Garry Monk scrambled the ball clear.

With 11 minutes gone, a neat build up involving Alan Tate and Jordi Gomez saw Andrea Orlandi's shot blocked. As the ball fell to the edge of the area, Owain Tudur Jones forced Ruben Mino into a great save.

Gorka Pintado was the next to try his luck from 25 yards, but Mino was again down well to save.

Barca must have though Orlandi had developed a mean streak when he was booked after 17 minutes for a foul on Thiago Alcantara. A minute later and he conceded another foul on Martin Montoya, but escaped a second yellow.

With 20 minutes gone, however, Swansea were trailing when Ruben Rochina got in behind the Swansea defence to fire beyond Dorus de Vries and into the far corner.

Eight minutes later and the Swans were 2-0 down when they failed to clear their lines and Ruben Rochina fired home his second through a crowded goalmouth.

Barca were displaying superb technical ability all over the park as Manager Roberto Martinez made his first tactical switch after 33 minutes with Guillem Bauza and Tom Butler replacing OTJ and Orlandi in a 4-4-2 formation.

It couldn't stem the Barca wave though as they stormed into a 3-0 lead in the 43^rd minute when Ruben Rayos waltzed his way through the Swansea defence before applying a superb finish into the top corner.

The strike would have impressed the watching Barca star Messi.

Half-time: Barca B 3 Swans 0

Roberto made more changes for the start of the second-half as Matty Collins, Fede Bessone, Albert Serran and Dennis Lawrence made up a new back four.

And within five minutes Swansea had pulled one back when Guillem Bauza latched onto a ball\over the top to drill a shot between the 'keepers legs.

With 58 minutes on the clock and Swansea had pulled another one back as Gorka Pintado fired an angled drive against the far post. As the ball rebounded back to Mark Gower, the winger's shot was blocked four yards out only for Guillem Bauza to follow up for his second of the game to reduce the deficit to 3-2.

Swansea were playing with full of confidence and determination as Jordi Gomez joined Bussy and Orlandi in the referee's notebook for a foul.

Ferrie Bodde quickly followed as the sniper in the stand was having a field day.

It was Bodde's last piece of the action as he left the field along with Gomez in the 66^th minute to be replaced by Joe Allen and Darren Pratley.

Bauza nearly grabbed his hat-trick in the 69^th minute and level the scores after forcing a great save out of Mino.

Three minutes later and Febian Brandy was on for his second run out of the tour in place of Pintado.

Swansea were down to 10 men in the 80^th minute when Guillem Bauza was shown a second yellow card for 'breathing' on defender Jose Solano.

It looked an innocuous challenge on the defender who again went down as if he'd been shot, much to the disgust of the travelling Jack support who had got totally fed up with the referee and Barca's over-reactions.

But Swansea weren't done and grabbed a deserved equalizer three minutes from time when Tom Butler played in Febian Brandy who applied a tremendous finish.
