The calendar does not let up and Barça has to recover the automatisms based on matches after the national team tournaments. Thus, less than two days after achieving an important victory on the court of Xavi Pascual’s Dinamo Bucuresti (30-35), The Barça team hosts Bidasoa Irun at the Palau this Saturday (12:00 p.m., GOAL) with the aim of leaving the Asobal League almost sentenced.
Although he has won all 17 games played, the wrong alignment in the match against Bathco Torrelavega means that Carlos Ortega’s men have 31 points and one defeat. In this way, they are 10 points ahead of a Bidasoa who is second and who they already beat in Artaleku (26-32), although with two pending matches. Winning would therefore go a long way towards paving the way for a twelfth consecutive league title.
With the entire squad available since last week following the expected recovery of Timothey N’Guessan, Ortega will take the opportunity to rest Aitor Ariño who is very loaded like several of his companions. In his place, the left side of the subsidiary Martí Soler entered the list.
