Too bad for Pere, really. He was the better player, but whatever upper-leg/knee injury he was suffering from took it's toll in the end. But Albert deserves credit for fighting hard, dramatically improving his serving the final two sets compared to set one, and more or less willing himself to victory.
Riba led 5-*2 in the third.
