With my mind on more important issues, Barça will play this Saturday the last day of the Asobal League at 12.00 on the track of a ABANCA Ademar directed by former Barcelona coach Manolo Cadenas and who has staged a spectacular climb in the second round after flirting with relegation for several months.
Champion for several days in another great tournament in which he only missed a draw in Antequera with a team of circumstances due to the closeness of the quarter-final second leg against Flensburg (32-32) plus the loss due to improper alignment against Bathco Torrelavega, the team led by Carlos Ortega will go out to for victory as always without forgetting what is to come.
Next week the azulgranas will try to add the fifth title of the season after the Asobal League, the Copa del Rey, the Spanish Super Cup and the Catalan Super Cup. It will be in Zaragoza with the Asobal League at stake and BM Logroño La Rioja as rival in the semifinals on June 4.
Anyway, what is truly important will arrive on June 18 and 19 in Cologne with the Champions League Final Four in which Barça will defend the title it won last year on the same stage and behind closed doors due to covid. This time the spectacular Lanxess Arena will be filled with the German THW Kiel as rival in the semifinals.
Blaz Janc goes through a great game moment

The central veteran changed the face of the team in attack and is showing that at 36 years old he is still a star.
Precisely Frade has been in charge of attending to the media in the pre-crash. “These games since we won the League are to get good feelings. We have to play well, play our game and enjoy it”, commented the Portuguese international.
“I had a very big hiatus. Now I have to start small and I’m still getting feelings. Each match is a way to train and get fitter.
